Transition from opposed flame spread to fuel regression and blow off: Effect of flow, atmosphere, and microgravity
Xinyan Huang,Xinyan Huang,Shmuel Link,Andy Rodriguez,Maria Thomsen,Sandra L. Olson,Paul V. Ferkul,Carlos Fernandez-Pello +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the transition from opposed flame spread to fuel regression under varying conditions, including sample size, opposed flow velocity, pressure, oxygen concentration, external radiation, and gravity level.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Gravity on Flame Spread over PMMA Cylinders.
TL;DR: It is suggested that under certain environmental conditions there could be a higher fire risk and a more difficult fire suppression in microgravity than on Earth, which would have significant implications for spacecraft fire safety.
The Effect of Gravity on Flame Spread over PMMA Cylinders in Opposed Flow with Variable Oxygen Concentration.
TL;DR: In this article, the spread of flame over a thermoplastic polymer, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), was conducted in the International Space Station and on Earth.
Results from on-board CSA-CP and CDM Sensor Readings during the Burning and Suppression of Solids – II (BASS-II) Experiment in the Microgravity Science Glovebox (MSG)
Sandra L. Olson,Paul V. Ferkul,Subrata Bhattacharjee,Fletcher Miller,Carlos Fernandez-Pello,Shmuel Link,James S. T'ien,Indrek S. Wichman +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a perfectly stirred reactor model to determine the N2 flow time and flow rate to obtain the desired reduced oxygen concentration in the working volume for each test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving DSMC with New Pressure Boundary Conditions for Heat and Mass Transfer of Microchannel Flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a new treatment of pressure boundary conditions for the DSMC method is proposed for flow prediction in microchannels, which shows better convergence compared with previous boundary treatments.
