Research

  • Boron Combustor

    Boron is synthesized at kilogram level and a combustor for Nano Boron slurry fuel is being developed using a slinger combustor configuration.

  • Scaling down fire tests

    Fire tests of fire fighting foams at smaller scale are cost effective for users wanting to quickly check the effectiveness of
    stored foams.

    Know More
  • Burning Velocity Correlations

    A simple generalized correlation is deduced for all hydrocarbons fuels taking into account effects of pressure and temperature
    on the laminar flame
    speed.

  • Clean Combustion from Pool Fires

    Used-heptane from fire tests poses disposal challenges.  Clean combustion of this fuel with increased burn rate can support our in-house fire door testing.

  • FDS Studies on Porous Wall Configuration

    Porous wall configuration of UL-JFL is simulated using Fire Dynamics Simulator software to understand the effect of asymmetry caused by solid North wall.

  • Modeling Pan Fire Burn Behavior

    Heat feed back to the liquid pool below the fire through conduction effects is modeled to understand factors contributing to
    pool-fire
    burn rates.

Koko Point Fire Studies

Koko point is an ethanol dispensing machine used in ethanol stoves project promoted by Koko networks of the UK. Over 2300 devices are installed in various countries of the African subcontinent


These devices are manufactured by the Gujarat based company, Epsilon Engineering and they have initiated a consultancy for determination of liquid evaporation rates and pressure build up in these devices when subjected to fires of known intensities
