This study evaluates the potential of hydrogen as a clean additive to conventional diesel fuel. Experiments were carried out on a single-cylinder, air-cooled diesel engine under half- and full-load conditions, across engine speeds ranging from 1000 t...

In recent years, agricultural landscapes have increasingly suffered from severe fire incidents, posing significant threats to crop production, economic stability, and environmental sustainability. Timely and precise detection of fires, especially at...

Ensuring the fire resistance and thermal stability of power cables is crucial for their reliable performance in fire environments, essential for sustainable power distribution, and allowing for more time to extinguish fires and for evacuation. This s...

This study investigates the suppression effect of ultrafine CaCO3 powder on gas explosions through a series of experiments conducted in a medium-scale explosion tube (9.6 m in length) with varying concentrations of ultrafine CaCO3. The gas explosion...

Penetration points on walls must include firestop measures to prevent the spread of fire. Countries worldwide have established standardized testing protocols for firestop methods, and firestop products must pass relevant tests before they can be used...

Dou-Gong brackets, the distinctive structural element in ancient Chinese architecture, fulfill critical roles in load transfer, span reduction, and decoration, making its preservation vital for safeguarding wooden heritage buildings. This study inves...

This study investigates the thermal behavior and ignition dynamics of DC series arcs in a lab-scale photovoltaic (PV) system. The impacts of current magnitude, dynamic current variations, and electrode gap on electrode surface temperatures are analyz...

As high-specification structures, civil aircraft hangars face significant fire risks, including rapid fire propagation and challenging rescue operations. The structural integrity of these hangars is compromised under high temperatures, potentially le...

In order to ensure the safety of methane/hydrogen, regular SiO2 powder was modified. Fe(C5H5)2/SiO2 composite dry powder (CDP) was selected as the explosion-suppression material. Explosion-suppression experiments and numerical simulations were adopte...

In recent years, accelerated global climate change has precipitated an increased frequency of wildfire events, with their devastating impacts on ecological systems and human populations becoming increasingly significant. Satellite remote sensing tech...
