A self-sustained porous burner without a sprayed atomizer was built for diesel oil. It consisted of metal fiber felt as an evaporator upstream and ceramic foam emitter downstream. The liquid fuel underwent film boiling in the rapidly evaporated by heat recirculated from to through intense irradiative flux. effect structure its installation location on performance investigated. results indicated...

The aim of this experimental study is to investigate the combustion low-calorific producer gas within porous burner. small scale downdraft biomass gasification for rural area was performed produce gaseous fuel. Three types wood in Thailand were used as raw materials gas, i.e. Acacia-mangium, White popinac and Eucalyptus. low heating values range 3800-4232 kJ.kg-1 that are difficult burn convent...

A systematic experimental study was performed to elucidate the conditions for which cellular patterns of diluted hydrogen diffusion flames near extinction were observed. The formation of cellular instabilities was studied for several burners: jet burners (axisymmetric jet and two-dimensional jet) and a novel one-dimensional burner. The fuel and oxidizer Lewis numbers and the initial mixture str...

The objective of this study is to improve the design of hydronic radiant panel systems through the understanding of the thermal performance of panel systems. The scope of this study includes performing experiments using testing facilities and the radiant panel ceiling in the Energy Research House, and developing a theoretical model that can predict heat transfer from a radiant ceiling panel. In...

A review of the literature was conducted to find publications relating to neck collars / rolls and prevention of sports injury, particularly burners and other cervical spine injuries, as well as in preventing excessive motion of the cervical spine. MEDLINE (1970-2005), Cinahl (1982-2005), Alt Health Watch (1990-2005), AMED (1995-2005), and the Index to Chiropractic Literature (1985-2005) databa...

A strategy to bridge the gap between hydrocarbon combustion detailed chemistry and Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of burners is reported. Significant progress has been made recently in terms of accuracy and robustness in both chemical kinetics and flow computations. However, the highest resolution reached in LES of practical burners does not yet ensure that the response of intermediate radical spe...

The present paper investigates the feasibility of using H2/CH4 fuel blends in micromix-type burners applied to industrial combustion systems. micromix burner concept, characterised by formation miniaturised and compact turbulent diffusion flames, was developed for gas turbine hydrogen showing low NOx emissions (below 10 ppm) without flashback risk, which represent main issues when pure or enric...

In the last five years, everolimus has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of different origins; its efficacy and safety were explored in the RADIANT trials, the last of which (RADIANT-4) has been recently published (December 2015). Overall, evidence collected from the RADIANT studies holds promise to change clinical practice for the treatment of NETs.In this ...
