Previous research on Char reactions with gas phase compounds under micro-thermogravimetry systems shows that hydrogen inhibits heterogeneous char reactions. However, its impact on larger gasification systems with evolving hydrogen profiles remains largely unexplored. This study examines a macro-scale wood char bed to understand the influence of in situ evolving hydrogen on char reactions.

Analytically, the process is reported to follow second order initial diametric ([Formula: see text]) dependence [Formula: see text] for both single-film (no CO combustion) and two-film models (CO burns in a concentric sphere over the particle). However, experimental investigations indicate deviation from classical diffusion limit with [Formula: see text] exceeding 2.

The research article discusses the systematic evolution of flame formed carbon in premixed stagnation flames with flame temperatures hotter than conventional combustion applications. The effect of the growth environment on particle size, structure, composition and properties are studied.

In the present study, the efficacy of ozone water irrigation as an adjunct to scaling and root planing was evaluated in the treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with chronic periodontitis selected for the study were randomly divided into Group A and Group B, receiving ozone water irrigation and distilled water irrigation, respectively, after scaling and root planing.
This paper investigates the performance of two commercially available sanitary napkin incinerators. On detailed preliminary investigations both the incinerators were found to have shortcomings to meet emission norms as per Indian standards for MSW incinerators. Parameters for the comparison were combustion efficiency and emissions, basically CO and CO, to assess the quality of combustion.
