Finite-Difference Modeling of the Batch Process Smoldering Combustion of Wastewater
<p>A MATLAB model was developed for the smoldering combustion of wastewater in the context of a decentralized residential wastewater treatment appliance. Data from a batch process sewage smoldering experiment was simulated using implicit finite-difference approximations, assuming one-dimensional …

Factors that influence ponderosa pine duff mound consumption
… for achieving desired effects. Prolonged combustion in duff accumulations at the base of large conifers can lead to fine root mortality, cambial injury, enhanced susceptibility to bark beetle attack, and possibly tree death. Pre-burn sampling to predict duff mound consumption from …

A Self-Potential for Monitoring Self-Sustaining Treatment for Active Remediation (STAR)
… in a porous medium. STAR is based on liquid smoldering combustion which destroys NAPLs while simultaneously generating heat due to the exothermic oxidation reaction. The technique is currently in use in several field pilot tests and a full-scale site remediation. Propagation of the smoldering …

Potential Ignition Sources from Residential Electric Cooktops
… possible due to the quick consumption of mass, smoldering combustion (cellulosic fuels), and increased volume of vaporization/pyrolysis products. The high setting for all three cooktop types showed the maximum potential for ignition based on the total heat output produced by the 6-inch diameter …

Measurements of Reactive Trace Gases and Variable Ozone Formation Rates in South Carolina Biomass Burning Plumes
… impact of smoke on local communities. However, smoldering combustion can still occur, leading to complaints of smoke exposure and reduced visibility. It is clear that we need better understanding of prescribed fire emissions both for the sake of land managers who conduct these burns and for the …
