Reducing Flammability for Bakken Crude Oil for Train Transport: Year 4 |
摘要: |
This project examines how crude oil can be modified with the addition of nano-particles and polymers to change the oil's fire characteristics. Testing involves looking at both different kinds of oils and at simpler chemicals that mimic oil's properties. Testing simpler chemicals allows faster testing and examination of a broader range of conditions. Specific experiments involve droplet burning, droplet splashing, and other methods that are clear, reproducible, and consistent. |
