Minimum ignition energies have been calculated for alkane-air mixtures at standard ambient conditions. The governing conservation equations have been solved using approximate transport properties and chemistry. A six-species, four-step global reactio

Ordered polymer microspheres were produced by photo-polymerizing reactive nematic liquid crystal droplets suspended in glycerol, thus capturing the mesogenic order indefinitely. The electro-optic switching of these structures suspended in a fluid is

Measurement are presented for the fuel-related properties of pure and fire-retarded cellulose used in diffusion flame calculations. The items measured are (1) heat of combustion of the volatile products of cellulose pyrolysis, (2) heat of gasificatio

The existence of flammability limits in an unconfined gas mixture is investigated in the absence of gravity forces. Results of numerical calculations are presented for lean methaneair mixtures. For an adiabatic system, no flammability limit is fou

Using two mathematical models (one allowing for pressure variations, and the other assuming the pressure to be uniform), the minimum ignition energies of a stoichiometric methane-air mixture are calculated. The effect of the initial pressure wave gen

An experimental set-up for pressure driven liquid flow through microchannels have been designed and tested. The flow rate is determined by tracking the free liquid surface in a precision bore hole using a laser distance meter. Measurements of the flo

We have manufactured birefringent polymer balls by photo-polymerizing suspensions of reactive mesogens in the nematic phase. The dielectric and optical anisotropy is captured by photo-polymerization. The balls are ElectroMechano-Optical (ElMO) in tha

The characteristics of an axisymmetric flame propagating over a thermally thick fuel bed of polymethyl methacrylate have been studied. For a pyrolysis region diameter d p > 5 cm, the flame propagation rate is constant at V = 0.0050 cm/sec. The mass l
