Charring does not affect wood infestation by subterranean termites
Fire is an important part of forest ecosystems, as is the insect fauna. Changes in wood brought about by fire may alter the ability of termites to use the wood, interrupting the decay cycle of woody debris. The ability of termites to find, infest, and feed upon wood after it had been charred was evaluated in the laboratory and field. Eastern subterranean termites, Reticulitermes flavipes (Kolla...
متن کاملModeling the Pyrolysis and Combustion Behaviors of Non-Charring and Intumescent-Protected Polymers Using “FiresCone”
A mathematical model, named FiresCone, was developed to simulate the pyrolysis and combustion processes of different types of combustible materials, which also took into account both gas and solid phases. In the present study, some non-charring and intumescent-protected polymer samples were investigated regarding their combustion behaviors in response to pre-determined external heat fluxes. The...
متن کاملThermal Degradation and Charring Rate of Corymbia Citriodora and Eucalyptus Grandis Wood Species
This research reports an investigation of the potential of Eucalyptus grandis and Corymbia citriodora for structural applications in civil construction with an emphasis on the wood-charring process in fire condition. Published data on wood carbonization to determine the charring rate for structural propose are sparse in Brazil as there have been only a few studies in this direction. The rate at...
متن کاملProperties of Wood for Combustion Analysis
A systematic compilation of 21 different property values of wood and bark fue1 was made to facilitate the engineering analysis and modeling of combustion systems. Physical property values vary greatly and properties such as density, porosity, and internal surface area are related to wood species whereas bulk density, particle size, and shape distribution are related to fuel preparation methods....
