Fire Modelling: An Overview of Knowledge and Techniques

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on fire modeling, specifically regarding pool fire modeling and the challenges associated with configuration factors (CFs). Participants express a need for introductory knowledge and clarification on the shape of pool fires, which is identified as a sheared or tilted cylinder. There is a focus on the importance of CFs in understanding radiation exchange between flames and target structures. Additionally, there is an inquiry about whether someone is seeking a particular solution or specific details related to the modeling approach. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of fire modeling and the need for foundational understanding in this area.

are you familiar with pool fire modelling?the shape is a sheared cylinder or a tilted cylinder. I am kinda stuck with the configuration factor part.
 
I've completely missed this thread ... sorry :cry: !
If this has any relevance anymore, yeah, have worked with CFs for different types of flames & target structures for radiation exchange, are you looking for a particular solution or interested in some specific detail of the approach?
 

Thread 'How could I make it so ferrofluid drops do not coalesce?'

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...

Thread 'How do you fabricate microfluidic chips in your lab?'

Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
