Ignition

The spontaneous ignition characteristics of a super-light oil was investigated. The process involved saturating sand with the crude oil and oxidizing at a temperature of 135°C, the temperature of the reservoir from which the oil is produced. Various process parameters such as ai…

Aluminum based reactive nanomaterials have extensive applications in many fields including solid propellants, pyrotechnics, and catalytic reactions. One recent example is the novel concept of using nanostructured energetic particles for energy storage where the controlled exothe…

The study area centers around a 6 million acre protected area in upstate New York known as the Adirondack State Park. Spatial data are gathered and manipulated, then input into the ArcGIS Pro suitability modeler tool to construct several wildfire ignition risk models, as well as…
