Research in microgravity (low-gravity) combustion promises innovations and improvements in fire prevention and response for human-crew spacecraft. Findings indicate that material flammability and fire spread in microgravity are significantly affected by atmospheric flow rate, oxygen concentration, and diluent composition. This information can lead to modifications and correlations to standard m...

Forests are rich containment of resources and they play a vital role in preserving and maintaining the environment. The major hazard of the forests is forest fire as the consequence of the forest fire is catastrophic in nature. Hence it is of great importance that forest fire occurrence must be detected and extinguished before the fire spreads and destroys the resources. A lot of detection mech...

There are reports of gas and oil wells fire due to different accidents. Many different methods are used for fire fighting in gas and oil industry. Traditional fire extinguishing techniques are mostly faced with many problems and are usually time consuming and needs lots of equipments. Besides, they cause damages to facilities, and create health and environmental problems. This article proposes ...

filling stations inside the urban environment are known as one of the existing and potential dangers in cities which according to their centralized fire load can be of high safety importance. tehran holds 101 active filling stations faced to extreme accidents and high explosion potentials. in this study, 59 out of 101 gas stations were investigated under the fire risk assessment implementation....

Fire-extinguishing powders based on ammonium phosphates (FEP) have a high specific fire-extinguishing ability. However, during storage, their technical characteristics deteriorate, which reduces the efficiency to extinguish fire. To solve this problem, authors considered promising direction for improving properties of FEP by using superhydrophobic functional additives silicon dioxide particles....

* Corresponding author. Abstract – Earth observations are one way to reduce the risk to standing forests from damages caused by wild fires, since they enable early warning systems, preventive actions and faster extinguishing of fires, before they spread out. Another channel through which fire hazard can be reduced is the thinning of the forest, so the risk of a fire occurring becomes partially ...
