acacia nilotica (thorn mimosa) is used locally for various medicinal purposes by traditionalists and herbalists in northeastern nigeria. plants products have been used since ancient times in the management of various conditions. the bark of a. nilotica has been reported to be used traditionally to manage diabetes, dysentery, leprosy, ulcers, cancers, tumor of the eye, ear and testicles, indurat...

This paper presents experimental investigations of the in situ diagnosis of the alkali metals in the municipal solid waste (MSW) flame of an industrial grade incinerator using flame emission spectroscopy. The spectral radiation intensities of the MSW flame were obtained using a spectrometer. A linear polynomial fitting method is proposed to uncouple the continuous spectrum and the characteristi...

Optical emission tomography of flames has recently been demonstrated as a practical experimental technique for determining the instantaneous position of a 3D flame surface. In this paper, optical emission tomography is applied to steady and forced, non-axisymmetric, premixed, laminar flames. An experimental set-up involving a single camera and a rotatable flame holder allows camera images from ...

An improved soot diagnostics technique based on tomographic reconstruction of flame emission spectra has been developed for an axisymmetric laminar diffusion flame without optically-thin assumption. Emission from the flame is scanned along the horizontal lateral axis of flame at several altitudes above the burner. At each measurement position, the local line-of-sight flame emission spectra is c...

We describe a simple experimental arrangement for emission tomographic measurements of radicals in flames. Experimental determinations of two-dimensional spatially resolved distributions of excited-state CH in atmospheric-pressure flames are presented. Calibration of the distributions to absolute number densities is performed with a Rayleigh scattering technique. Methods for simultaneous record...

Recently there have been several advances in instrumental methods for the flame emission analysis of electrolytecations of clinical significance. Greater precision and increased ease of operation are among today’s clinical requirements. This study compares a new automated flame photometer, “Klina Flame” (Beckman Instruments) with a “Techtron-AA5” atomic absorption emission unit (Varian Instrume...

premixed combustion is widely used for reducing pollutant emission from combustion chambers. however, these systems may be sensitive to complex phenomena such as flashback. in the present study flame, flashback and structure of premixed laminar flames are investigated theoretically. the mathematical model includes the axi-symmetric continuity, navier stocks, energy, and species equations. combu...
