The combustion process of polymers is a complex coupling of energy feedback from a flame to the polymer surface with gasification of the polymer to generate combustible degradation products. Although there are extensive studies of the effects of wind velocity, gas phase oxygen concentration, external thermal radiation, and gravity on the combustion of polymers, the effects of polyruer character...

In this paper, a combustion analysis of a compression ignition (CI) engine operating with biodiesel blends has been experimentally investigated to examine the effects of biodiesel on the combustion process and the characteristics of the engine noise produced by the combustion process. The experiment with different loads and speeds was conducted on a four-cylinder, four-stroke, direct injection ...

Subject analysis of the potential of spontaneous combustion in coal layers with analytical and numerical methods has been always considered as a difficult task because of the complexity of the coal behavior and the number of factors influencing it. Empirical methods, due to accounting for certain and specific factors, have not accuracy and efficiency for all positions. The Rock Engineering Syst...
