01 Jan 2015TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of ozone (O3) enrichment in a low-swirl methane (CH4) air flame at lean conditions with different concentrations of O3 enrichment was studied.
Abstract: In plasma-assisted combustion, electric energy is added to the flame where the electric energy will be transferred to kinetic energy of the free electrons that, in turn, will modify the combustion chemical kinetics. In order to increase the understanding of this complex process, the influence of one of the products of the altered chemical kinetics, ozone (O3), has been isolated and studied. This paper reports on studies using a low-swirl methane (CH4) air flame at lean conditions with different concentrations of O3 enrichment. The experimental flame diagnostics include Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence (PLIF) imaging of hydroxyl (OH) and formaldehyde (CH2O). The experiments are also modeled using Large Eddy Simulations (LES) with a reaction model based on a skeletal CH4-air reaction mechanism combined with an O3 sub-mechanism to include the presence of O3 in the flame. This reaction mechanism is based on fundamental considerations including reactions between O3 and all other species involved. The experiments reveal an increase in CH2O in the low-swirl flame as small amounts of O3 is supplied to the CH4-air stream upstream of the flame. This increase is well predicted by the LES computations and the relative radical concentration shift is in good agreement with experimental data. Simulations also reveal that the O3 enrichment increase the laminar flame speed, su, with ∼10% and the extinction strain-rate, Iext, with ∼20%, for 0.57% (by volume) O3. The increase in Iext enables the O3 seeded flame to burn under more turbulent conditions than would be possible without O3 enrichment. Sensitivity analysis indicates that the increase in Iext due to O3 enrichment is primarily due to the accelerated chain-branching reactions H 2 + O â OH + H , H 2 O + O â OH + OH and H + O 2 â OH + O . Furthermore, the increase in CH2O observed in both experiments and simulations suggest a significant acceleration of the chain-propagation reaction CH 3 + O â CH 2 O + H . (Less)

27 Apr 2007TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review some of the work on range gated imaging undertaken at the Swedish Defence Research and Evaluation Agency (FOI) and present examples from various field campaigns.
Abstract: This presentation will review some of the work on range gated imaging undertaken at the Swedish Defence Research
Agency (FOI). Different kind of systems covering the visible to 1.5 μm region have been studied and image examples
from various field campaigns will be given. Example of potential applications will be discussed.

TL;DR: One of these missions is BIOMASS, which has recently been selected to proceed to Phase-A, and is a response to the urgent need for greatly improved mapping of global biomass and the lack of any current space systems capable of addressing this need.
Abstract: The European Space Agency (ESA) released a Call for Proposals for the next Earth Explorer Core Mission in March 2005, with the aim to select the 7th Earth Explorer (EE-7) mission for launch in the next decade. Twenty-four proposals were received and subject to scientific and technical assessment. Six candidate missions were selected and further investigated in the preliminary feasibility studies (Phase 0). One of these missions is BIOMASS, which has recently been selected to proceed to Phase-A. BIOMASS is a response to the urgent need for greatly improved mapping of global biomass and the lack of any current space systems capable of addressing this need.

TL;DR: The overall judgment is that the safety criterion of 44-mm impression is insufficient when a vest is exposed to a high-velocity projectile and this effects were more aggravated in the 40- mm group compared to the 34-mm group.
Abstract: The most-used safety recommendation for protective vests is that the impact should not cause more than a 44-mm impression in plasticine. The aim of this study was to investigate whether this criterion was sufficient if the vest was exposed to a high-velocity projectile. We tested the hypothesis with pigs divided into a 40-mm group (n = 10) and a 34-mm group (n = 8) protected by a vest allowing a 40-mm or 34-mm impression in plasticine, respectively. Five (50%) of 10 animals in the 40-mm group and 2 (25%) of 8 in the 34-mm group died due to the trauma. We observed severe lung hematoma, impaired circulation, desaturation, and electroencephalogram changes. These effects were more aggravated in the 40-mm group compared to the 34-mm group. Based on our results, the overall judgment is that the safety criterion of 44-mm impression is insufficient when a vest is exposed to a high-velocity projectile.
