Emissions measurements are presented for high and low combustion efficiency (CE) using natural gas and a propane and natural gas blend. The experiments considered flow rates of 98 liters per minute (LPM) for natural gas with crosswind speeds of 0.3 m/s (CE = 100 % ± 0.03 %) and 10 m/s (CE = 80.2 % ± 2.46 %). The propane and natural gas blend experiments were conducted at a flow rate of 490 LPM and crosswind speeds of 8.8 m/s (CE = 94.3 % ± 2.71 %) and 16 m/s (CE = 88.0 % ± 2.71 %). Large-eddy simulations (LES) of methane at 830 LPM with crosswind speeds of 3 to 12 m/s yielded CE values from 99.45 % to 95.89 %. Both experiments and LES demonstrate that severe thermal and species gradients persist well downstream of the primary combustion zone. LES further reveals that local CE can deviate significantly from global CE, underscoring potential limitations of emissions measurement approaches. The findings provide a benchmark data set for flare emissions under crosswind conditions and highlight the need to refine existing analytical methods while guiding the development of next-generation measurement strategies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100104,"journal":{"name":"Applications in Energy and Combustion Science","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 100448"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145925452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a study on dry ice’s efficacy in inhibiting thermal runaway propagation (TRP) in 4000 mAh cylindrical LIBs demonstrates optimal suppression during early-stage fire development, with efficacy positively correlated with discharge quantity. Further validation on a 50 Ah energy storage cell confirms that dry ice extinguishes open flames within 3 seconds while significantly reducing surface temperature, effectively halting TR progression. Finally, the fire-extinguishing mechanism of dry ice was summarized, i.e., gas-driven accelerated phase transition - rapid fire extinction by low-temperature gas cloud - sustained cooling via thermal resistance barrier. This multi-phase mechanism rapidly blocks TR propagation chains. Collectively, this work provides an efficient and feasible fire-suppression strategy to mitigate the major process safety risk posed by LIB thermal runaway (TR).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100104,"journal":{"name":"Applications in Energy and Combustion Science","volume":"25 ","pages":"Article 100437"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145790913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the popularity of monitors, battery management has become an increasingly important indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of monitor usage. The Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of a lithium battery is an important parameter that characterizes the functionality of a battery management system. Accurate prediction of the RUL of a lithium battery can ensure the smooth operation of the battery equipment and guarantee the utilization efficiency of the monitor. In response to the problem of low estimation accuracy caused by complex estimation models in current lithium battery RUL prediction, a lithium battery RUL prediction method using Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) is proposed by selecting the time when the discharge phase voltage drops to the cut-off voltage as the health indicator. Firstly, the time when the voltage drops to the cut-off voltage during the discharge stage is used as a health indicator, and Spearman correlation analysis is used to determine that the voltage drop time has a strong correlation with the battery's capacity data. Secondly, due to the phenomenon of capacity regeneration in battery capacity, VMD is used to decompose the voltage drop time signal, and RVM is used for training. Finally, the voltage drop time data is input into the VMD-RVM model to obtain the predicted RUL of the battery.
