In this study, the effect of polyethylene barriers with different blockage ratios on the explosion behavior of a propane-air premixed gas in a confined space is investigated. The maximum explosion pressure ( ), the deflagration index ( ), and the flame propagation process of the propane-air premixed gas with different barrier thicknesses are examined by using a horizontal closed tube with a length of 0.5 m and a diameter of 0.1 m and a high-speed camera. The atmospheric pressure and temperature of the premixed gas were 101.3 kPa and 18 °C, respectively. Based on the Canny operator, the position of the flame front at different times and the shape of the barriers before and after the explosion are determined, and the propagation speed of the premixed flame and the deformation rate of the barriers are obtained. The results indicate that the barriers change the flow field structure of the unburned gas and increase the folding degree of the flame front. With the increase in the blockage ratio, the explosion of a premixed system becomes more rapid and violent. Under the action of Rayleigh-Taylor instability, the variation in the flame propagation speed induces a change in the tube pressure. In addition, the deformation of a barrier causes a change in the maximum explosion pressure. The greater the deformation ratio of the barrier after the explosion, the larger the maximum explosion pressure.

Porous combustion has drawn vast attention over the last few decades leading to a variety of progressing applications particularly in industrial kitchens and household appliances that require time sensitive heating. The present study experimentally investigates the relationship between cooking duration and the thermal efficiency of a cooking pot heated on a porous burner providing a valuable insights into the effectiveness of the heating process in terms of both time and fuel consumption. To facilitate this investigation, a dedicated test bench is designed and constructed, equipped with thermometers and timer to effectively monitor the temporal/thermal behavior of the heating process.

Alcohol fuels with different carbon numbers such as propanol (C3), butanol (C4) and pentanol (C5) have lately become popular in both conventionally and RCCI-operated diesel engines thanks to their high cetane number (CN) and oxygen content along with lower latent heat of evaporation, which are useful for reducing the high CO/HC emissions, whereas RCCI mode still suffers from these emissions. Therefore, in this study, these three alcohol fuels with carbon numbers ranging from C3 to C5 were employed as low-reactivity fuel (LRF) in a single-cylinder RCCI engine under a constant engine speed of 2400 rpm and varying loadings (from 20 to 60% of full load at 20% intervals) and premixed ratios (from 0 to 60% with 15% intervals) when using B7 as high-reactivity fuel (HRF). In the experimental study, the effect of oxygen content, latent heat of evaporation, and cetane number which changes linearly with the carbon number of alcohols used, on exhaust emissions, were analyzed.

In the past decade, noble gases have emerged as highly promising neuroprotective agents. Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of argon neuroprotection in rodent models of cerebral ischemia. The objective of the present pre-clinical study was to confirm the neuroprotective effect of argon in a non-human primate model of endovascular ischemic stroke.

Article Synopsis
- HDPE and PP blends filled with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) are explored to understand how processing parameters like blending sequence and screw speed affect their performance.
- *The study finds that the blending sequence significantly influences the crystallization behavior and tensile properties of the blends, particularly showing that GNPs premixed with PP lead to greater increases in crystallization temperature for PP than GNPs premixed with PE.
- *Results indicate that while tensile moduli are stable under different processing conditions, elongation at break and tensile toughness exhibit significant changes, emphasizing the critical link between processing methods and material performance.
We report the development of a multi-pass diode laser absorption spectroscopy system for simultaneous measurements of soot volume fraction (SVF), temperature, and CH concentration using a single diode laser near 1.543 µm. A line-shaped beam spot pattern is chosen for the open-path Herriott multi-pass cavity, enabling sensitive detection at various heights above the burner with an effective optical absorption path length of approximately 1.
