A new strategy to formulate transportation fuels surrogates using model predictions of gas-phase combustion targets is explored. Given a selection of individual fuel components, a multi-component chemical mechanism describing their oxidation kinetics, and a database of experimental measurements for key combustion quantities such as ignition delay times and laminar burning velocities, the optima...

project participants are becoming more aware of the high costs and risks associated with delay claims and their litigation. among delays, weather delay has an important role in projects performed in severe environmental conditions. this research is the extension of delay analysis techniques by approving analysis of weather delays using fuzzy logic. at the presented technique, first using a fuzz...

Pyrolisis reactions, existing in explosive components and mixtures, are very difficult to follow by experiments, because these processes are very fast and proceed with increasing pressure and temperature. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests and conventional cook-off methods do not give precise and correct answer to the problem of detecting the lif...
