Experimental and computational study of soot formation under diesel engine conditions
… combustion, soot is formed in local premixed fuel-rich regions. This project focuses on the fundamentals soot formation under fuel-rich conditions similar to those in diesel engine operation. Since these conditions cannot be easily reproduced in typical laboratory scale experiments, such as …

Reduction of Solid Uranium Dioxide in Calcium Salts
… to the maximum and recycle spent nuclear fuel through burn-up in the Generation IV reactor designs, one of which is the molten salt reactor (MSR). Therefore, the MSR can use the spent nuclear fuel as a fresh fuel when the actinides recycle. That reprocessing of spent fuel could be one of …

Ignition Quality Tester: an alternative for characterizing the combustion kinetics of low volatility fuels, The
… mechanisms of both high and low volatility fuels. Such validated mechanisms are an essential component for engine models used to improve efficiency and determine the impact of alternative fuels. There are other approaches to measure the ignition kinetics of high volatility fuels, but only …

Effects of Fuel Molecular Structure and Composition on Soot Formation in Direct-Injection Spray Flames
… have been conducted to determine the effect of fuel composition and molecular structure on particulate emissions using exhaust gas analysis, but relatively few measurements have been obtained in-cylinder or under conditions where fuel effects can be isolated from other variables. In this work, …

Building a better burn: Fuel characterization and fire effects in silvicultural systems in the southern United States
… by the arrangement and composition of wildland fuels, which influence wildland fire behavior and effects. Fire regime alterations influence shifts in stand dynamics via multiple processes, including tree mortality and or regeneration. Over time, these alterations to stand composition and …
