Rapid destruction of stockpiles of sarin and other chemical weapon agents (CWA) requires understanding and quantitative description of the relevant chemical reactions. Rapid …
This manuscript presents the development and application of an ultrafast (femtosecond) laser-absorption-spectroscopy (ULAS) diagnostic for measuring temperature, CO and CO2 …
Triethyl phosphate (TEP) is an organophosphorus compound used as a simulant for highly toxic nerve agents such as sarin GB. A high temperature decomposition pathway during TEP …
Detonative combustion is promising for its potential improved efficiency over combustion based on deflagration [1]. RDEs in particular are advantageous for their quasi-continuous …
Biomass residues from different industries and agriculture can be used to produce heat, power, or chemicals using thermal conversion processes such as combustion, gasification …
Chemical weapons (CWs) of mass destruction are still utilized in many countries. In order to investigate the combustion behavior of chemical warfare agents, combustion testing …
High-fidelity chemical kinetic models are critical in predictive modeling during design and optimization of next generation energy systems. Shock tube provides an ideal tool to …
A great deal of interest lies in detonative combustion due to its destructive potential and the theoretical thermodynamic advantages over traditional deflagration devices used for …
