✦ Synopsis

The determination of the characteristics of the flame and of the upward gas flow velocity in the flames is very useful for combustion and forest fire modelling. In this paper, we intend to show that this velocity can be measured by a specific thermal sensor using a flame model. Two flame models have been considered but the fire front has been considered as a plane moving at a constant rate of spread and characterised by some geometric and physical parameters. These characteristics of the flame have been identified from experiments with the inverse method. Very similar values were obtained by the two models. The upward gas flow velocity has also been deduced using a least-squares regression based on the values of the parameters of the flame.

This study investigates the effect of gas flow rates of air, nitrogen and argon on the synthesis of silica nanopowders in a diffusion flame reactor. The silica powders were prepared by high temperature oxidation of tetraethyl-ortho silicate (TEOS) in a three-port diffusion flame burner. The present

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sens
Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sensors with different stoichiometric compositions was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal-desorption mass spectroscopy observations combined with conductivity measurements. Three different types of film with different atomic ratios of Cd/S were used in the study of oxygen chemisorption in a low-temperature range between 300 and 570 K. Spray pyrolysis was used for the deposition of the films on glass substrates; XPS and energy dispersive spectroscopy of X-ray together with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used for the characterization of the composition and structure of the films. It was possible to distinguish different temperature ranges for the thermal desorption of the different adsorbed oxygen species. A comparison of the data from XPS and mass-spectroscopy observations with conductance measurements allows to conclude that metallic surface atoms are responsible for different interactions of oxygen species with CdS surfaces.
