The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has conducted a study with office work stations to examine their heat release rates and to determine
Local probability density functions (PDF) of absorption coefficients within turbulent flames have been retrieved from their multi-angular absorption data of
Recent experimental measurements of soot volume fraction in a flickering CH4/air diffusion flame show that for conditions in which the tip of the flame is

A description of a Fabry-Perot interferometer for measuring small displacements is given. The instruments consists of a fiber-optic-coupled actuator and mirror
The recent halt in the production of CF3Br because of its deleterious effect on stratospheric ozone levels has intensified the search for new suppressants with
A time-varying, axi-symmetric, methane/air, nonpremixed flame is created by imposing a sinusoidal modulation to the fuel flow rate, which creates flames that
