Tending to Hazardous Materials

            The article that I reviewed was titled "Flame Tip Propagation with Assisted Flow along Fuel-soaked Ground"." The article is from the Journal of Fire Sciences and not only has great detailed illustrations of the experiment, supporting charts and their findings but very detailed information on how they set-up the experiment, the procedure used, what the team finding were in very scientific terminology. .
             The article alludes to a possibility of finding a better way of dealing with ground soaked fuel and the spread of flames for emergency responders after studying how the air flow mix with the high and low velocity fuels along with what happens with different ground temperatures. The article covers how the assisted airflow mixes with the heated fuel and how it was influenced by the combination of all of these factors and the outcome. .
             The key points in this article are the flame spread or lack of flame spread based on the difference in ground temperature and the availability of airflow to help mix the heated fuel to a point that causes the fuel to air ratio to be combined in a way that will help support a flame tip. In the conclusion one of four findings discuss how if the mixture of the air and gas coming off the fuel has formed consistently and is stable in the areas ahead of the mixture will support a flame tip and that this is one of the important findings of the article. .
             I selected this article because I thought it would be interesting to see if the piece would find a better way of dealing with fuel spills resulting from accidents on roadways or maybe a new way for emergency responders to take action in preventing the spread of the fuel or even preventing the possibility of a fire resulting just by changing the temperature of the liquid or changing the airflow across the fuel spill. Up front they discuss using high volatile fuel but as I read on it started to go into the differences between higher temperature ground verses average temp ground and more of a flammable mixture layer combining with assisted airflow, which causes a larger flame column in a shorter period of time.
