In-Situ Burning in the Marshland Environment - Recovery and Regrowth of Spartina Alterniflora, Spartina Patens, and Sagittaria Lancifolia Plants

March 1, 2003
Author(s)
I A. Mendelson, Q N. Lin, Nelson P. Bryner, William D. Walton, W H. Twilley, J V. Mullin
In a series of in-situ burns involving 330 plant mesocosms, including Spartina Alterniflora, Spartina Patens, Distichlis spicata, and Sagittaria Lancifolia sods were exposed to burning diesel fuel or crude oil. Oil spilled in sensitive wetlands pose unique

In-Situ Burning of Oil Spills: Mesoscale Experiments (NIST SP 995)

March 1, 2003

D. D. Evans, William D. Walton, Howard R. Baum, Kathy A. Notarianni, James R. Lawson, Hai C. Tang, K. R. Keydel, Ronald G. Rehm, Daniel M. Madrzykowski, Richard H. Zile, H Koseki, E J. Tennyson
In 1991 a series of 14 mesoscale fire experiments were performed to measure the burning characteristics of crude oil on salt water. These oil burns in a pan ranged in size from 6 m square to 15 m square. Results of the measurements for burning rate and

Measurement of Large Scale Oil Spill Burns (NIST SP 995)

D D. Evans, William D. Walton, Howard R. Baum, James R. Lawson, Ronald G. Rehm, Richard H. Harris Jr., A Ghoniem, J Holland
Research has shown that burning can be an effective means to remove oil from the surface of the water. The combustion characteristics of crude oil have been measured in large laboratory tests using a nominal one meter diameter pool fire. This work reports

Upholstered Furniture Heat Release Rates Measured With a Furniture Calorimeter.

December 1, 1982
Author(s)
Vyto Babrauskas, James R. Lawson, William D. Walton, W H. Twilley
Accurate burning rate information on upholstered furniture is important for two purposes--to predict the room fire development history for a fire involving the furniture, and to relatively, but adequately, rank commercial products for a given application
