This report examines the results of the ball plate round robin administered by NIST. The round robin was part of an effort to assess the current state of
Molecular dynamics simulations of the thermal degradation of polymer nanocomposites were performed in an attempt to explain the reduction in the flammability of
A coupled radiation and soot kinetics calculation of laminar methane/air diffusion flame properties is described. Transport equations for mass, momentum
Numerous investigations have attributed laser-induced broadband fluorescence observed in both rich, premixed flames and in diffusion flames to small polycyclic

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is conducting a four-year research project where in a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) computer code
Recently it has been shown that low-density axisymmetric jets can become absolutely unstable and develop highly coherent vortical structures in the near-field

Experimental measurements of selected thermodynamic properties of alternative agent/nitrogen mixtures were performed. The selected alternatives were HFC-227 ea
This study experimentally quantified the change in heat transfer and pressure drop associated with tilting a compact brazed plate heat exchanger from the

We describe a simplified scheme for quantum logic with a collection of laser-cooled trapped atomic ions. Building on the scheme of Cirac and Zoller, we show how
A simple interferometer for matching the wavelengths of tunable lasers is described. Our interferometer uses the angular dispersion of a diffraction grating at
An apparatus has been designed, built, and extensivley tested for making short-duration autoignition temperature measurements of hydrocarbon fuels under

The steady-state mass burning flux and the radiative flux profiles to the surroundings were measured for a series of burning silicone fluids and organic fuels
This paper presents the design of a software framework for conceptual design. It develops an approach to mapping an evolving symbolic description of design into
