Microgravity opposed-flow flame spread in polyvinyl chloride tubes
The effects of gravity on opposed-flow flame spread in a confined geometry were investigated experimentally in the 2.2-s drop tower at the NASA Glenn Research Center. Pure oxygen flowed through samples of 0.64-cminner-diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing held either horizontally or vertically in a combustion chamber filled with nitrogen. The sample was ignited in normal gravity with a hot w...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Extinction Factor in a Laminar Flame Established over a PMMA Plate in Microgravity
A methodology for estimating the extinction factor at λ = 530 nm in diffusion flames is presented. All experiments have been in microgravity and have as their objective the production of quantitative data that can serve to evaluate the soot volume fraction. A better understanding of soot formation and radiative heat transfer is of extreme importance to many practical combustion related processe...
متن کاملRadiation-Driven Flame Spread Over Thermally-Thick Fuels in Quiescent Microgravity Environments
Microgravity experiments on flame spread over thermally-thick fuels were conducted using foam fuels to obtain low density and thermal conductivity, and thus large spread rate (Sf) over thermally-thick fuels compared to dense fuels such as PMMA. This scheme enabled meaningful results to be obtained even in 2.2 second drop tower experiments. It was found that, in contrast conventional understandi...
متن کاملUpward Flame Spread Over Discrete Fuels
Title of Document: Upward Flame Spread Over Discrete Fuels Colin H. Miller, Master of Science, 2014 Directed By: Dr. Michael J. Gollner, Assistant Professor, Department of Fire Protection Engineering Upward flame spread over discrete fuels has been analyzed through experimental research on vertical arrays of alternating lengths of PMMA and insulation. By manipulating the lengths of the PMMA fue...
متن کاملA Numerical Study of Cool Flame Development under Microgravity
The existence and spatial development of hydrocarbon cool flames in a spherical vessel under the influence of mass and thermal diffusion have been investigated by numerical methods. The purpose is to examine the nature of the interaction of the physics and chemistry that may drive an oscillatory reaction. The conditions correspond to those that would be experienced at zero gravity, as has been ...
