Summary: This study investigates the effect of ambient density on spray two-stage auto-ignition characteristics under cold-start condition using both optical and numerical methods. The results show that high-temperature ignition is more sensitive to ambient density than low-temperature ignition, due to the increased suppression of high-temperature chemistry at higher ambient density. Additionally, the study finds that ambient density has little effect on the ignition site in the mixture fraction space. Kinetic analysis reveals that as ambient density decreases, the concentration of O-2 decreases, leading to reduced reaction rates of both low-temperature and high-temperature reactions and increased ignition delay. When the ignition delay becomes too long due to continuing diffusion after the end of injection, the spray misfire occurs.

Summary: Oxy-coal combustion is an effective technology for CO2 capture and storage, and the ignition and combustion characteristics of pulverized coal particles are influenced by the physicochemical properties of CO2 and N2. A modified transient model was developed to predict the ignition delays and modes of coal particles under O2/CO2 atmospheres, and the effects of CO2 properties on ignition delays and modes were analyzed. The results showed that the increased thermal sink and decreased gas mixture reactivity of CO2 led to prolonged ignition delays under O2/CO2 atmospheres.

Summary: Extreme rainfall events due to global warming have been investigated for their impact on tunnel fires and smoke spread. Reduced-scale experiments with varying rainfall intensities, raindrop sizes, and fire heat release rates were conducted. It was found that heavy rainfall induced a longitudinal airflow inside the tunnel, causing the flame to tilt towards the no-rainfall portal. This induced airflow had a limited effect on the burning rate of pool fires, but it affected the ceiling temperature and prevented smoke back-layering towards the rainfall portal. The distribution of ceiling temperature towards the no-rainfall portal was not sensitive to rainfall and could be described by an empirical model.
