Transient plasma from a 60 kV, 70 ns pulse induced OH production in air and CH4/air quiescent mixtures inside a cylindrical chamber is analyzed. The resulting OH from the plasma discharge, ignition, and subsequent combustion is analyzed using planar laser induced fluorescence. A high-framing-rate camera was also used to image ignition and flame propagation in the chamber, providing spatial and temporal resolution over the entire combustion event. Results indicate OH ...
The members of the 2008 Industrial College of the Armed Forces Environment Industry Study (EIS) evaluated a wide range of environmental issues that have implications for U.S national security in the complex, globalized economy. EIS determined that the growth in the World population and global industrialization, coupled with the tangible effects of climate change, has the potential to cause conflict in the future. This paper evaluates the current global environmental ...
