Abstract Hydrogen (H 2) and syngas (a mixture of H 2 and carbon monoxide) can be
thermochemically produced from various sources, such as fossil fuels, biomass, water, and …

Smouldering combustion is an important and complex phenomenon that is central to a wide
range of problems (hazards) and solutions (applications). A rich history of research in the …

Smouldering is the slow, low-temperature, flameless form of combustion of a condensed
fuel. It poses safety and environmental hazards and allows novel technological application …

If we had to formulate in one sentence what this book is about, it might be “How partial
differential equations can help to understand heat explosion, tumor growth or evolution of …

In this work, the kinetic parameters governing the thermal and oxidative degradation of
flexible polyurethane foam are determined using thermogravimetric data and a genetic …

Smoldering is a slow, low-temperature, flameless form of combustion, sustained by the heat
evolved when oxygen directly attacks the surface of a condensed-phase fuel. Smoldering …

Combustion in inert, catalytic and combustible porous media occurs under the influence of a
large range of geometric length scales, thermophysical and thermochemical properties, and …

Modelling oxygen-limited and self-sustained smoldering propagation is of significance for
prevention of fire hazards and optimization of applied systems. However, two issues remain …

The sustained propagation of combustion fronts in porous media is a necessary condition for
the success of in situ combustion for oil recovery. Compared to other recovery methods, in …

Sewage sludge is a major by-product of wastewater treatment, and its unfavorable
properties are frequently a key restriction of disposal technologies, resulting in high costs …
