Abstract:The influence of different air entrainment
conditions on the emissions
of particulate matter from fire whirls was investigated by igniting
a diesel fuel pool, 0.7 m in diameter, within a four-walled enclosure.
Four different natural entrainment conditions resulted when gap sizes
in the walls were varied between 0.35 and 0.65 m. In addition, three
forced-entrainment conditions were created by holding the gap width
constant and varying the air-entrainment velocity using fans positioned
at each of the four gaps. … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
