Porous media combustion is a promising combustion technology that enables operation
over an extended range of conditions, with a variety of fuels and low pollutant emissions …

Detailed measurements are performed to examine the heterogeneous processes that occur
within the solid fuel during the combustion of biomass. Specifically, the pyrolysis, char …

In-situ X-ray computed tomography (XCT) imaging is employed to investigate the smoldering
dynamics of biomass at the sub-millimeter scale. This technique provides simultaneous and …

For volumetric reconstruction of the refractive index field in a flow, background-oriented
schlieren (BOS) imaging which measures the deflection of light rays due to refractive index …

Existing non-contact flame temperature measuring methods depend on complex, bulky and
expensive optical instruments, which make it difficult for portable applications and high …

Synchrotron x-ray fluorescence has been used to measure temperatures in optically dense
gases where traditional methods would fail. These data provide a benchmark for stringent …

We propose to use piecewise linear interpolation (PLI) in time to reduce motion artifacts in
transmission computed tomography (CT). PLI is motivated by the natural occurrence of …

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology is a develo** method
for temperature and species concentration measurements with the features of non-contact …

This paper examines how X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) can provide detailed and
quantitative in-situ measurements in bench-scale fire experiments. The method is illustrated …

Fire retardants are used to slow down the spread of wildfires or reduce the flammability of
manufactured materials such as plastics and textiles. The chemical pathways for retardant …
