 | Eddings, Eric G.; Sarofim, Adel F. | Experimental study of burning rate in jet-fuel pool fires | Experiments were carried out in a 30 cm diameter pool fire, for both transient and steady-state conditions, utilizing jet fuel, Norpar-15, and a surrogate mixture of hydrocarbons that simulates jet-fuel behavior in a pool fire. Steady state pool fire tests match previous results well. The transient ... | Pool fires; Jet propulsion fuel; Norpar-15 | 2004 |

 | Sarofim, Adel F.; Truong, Thanh | Kinetics of hydrogen abstraction reactions from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by H atoms | An application of the Reaction Class Transition State Theory/Linear Energy Relationship (RC-TST/LER) is presented for the evaluation of the thermal rate constants of hydrogen abstraction reactions by H atoms from Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH). Two classes of reactions have been considered, ... | Reaction Class Transition State Theory; Linear Energy Relationship; Hydrogen abstraction reactions | 2004 |

 | Lighty, Joann; Sarofim, Adel F.; Eddings, Eric G. | Modeling the coagulation of charged particles | One important mechanism in the growth of soot particles is to understand the role of particle charge in the coagulation of the particles. A previously developed model has been extended to include the coagulation of charged particles. The model includes neutral particles and charged particles (up to ... | Charged particles; Flame ionization; Modeling | 2004 |

 | Eddings, Eric G. | NOx emissions from intermediate-temperature combustion of steel-industry by-product gases | A study of NOx emissions from the combustion of coke-oven gas and blast-furnace gas (steel industry by-product gases) was undertaken using detailed kinetic modeling to elucidate the pathways for NOx formation. The study was performed at the intermediate temperatures (1200-1400K) and 1 atm, which rep... | | 2004 |

 | Sarofim, Adel F. | Simulation of soot formation using particle dynamics with one dimensional nucleation mode | Two soot formation models using particle dynamics with one-dimensional nucleation mode directly coupled with gas phase chemistry are tested on three ethylene and three methane laminar premixed flames. These models demonstrate strength in the prediction of concentration profiles of major combustion p... | Soot formation models; Particle dynamics; One dimensional nucleation mode; Combustion chemistry | 2004 |

 | Eddings, Eric G.; Sarofim, Adel F. | Thermal behavior of a high-energy material immersed in a fire | One of the uncertainties in the calculations of time-to-explosion for containers of high-energy materials immersed in fires is that of the thermal boundary at the container-explosive interface. Understanding this interface is critical in evaluating risks, safety issues and prevention mechanisms. In ... | | 2004 |
