First Place — “Flaming Star”
“Microgravity flames converging toward the center of the starburst "implode" against an outflow of wind, creating a diffusion flame "supernova".”
Sandra L. Olson (NASA Glenn Research Center)


Second Place — “Dr. Combustion”
“A family of methane-air counterflow and premixed flames of different configurations with and without addition of nanoparticles. Depending on flame configuration, the particles may pass reaction zone, be heated and irradiate light (nose, beard, and hair). In certain configurations of a counterflow diffusion flame, the reaction zone acts as a strong fluid-dynamics source and diverts the particles, making them not reach the reaction zone (eyes and mouth). A classical methane-air diffusion flame provides Dr. Combustion with an elegant hat as he cannot conceal the joy of discovery.”
Bogdan Pavlov and Li Qiao (Purdue University)


Third Place — “Super Fire Whirl”
“A fire whirl developed over a pool of benzene, note the waves and disturbances on the fuel surface. An upward mirrored reflection of the whirl is rotated to create the s-like shape.”
Nelson Akafuah and Kozo Saito (University of Kentucky)


First Place — “Porous Inert Media with Stable Methane Flame”
“The flame produces a sound pressure level of 92.1 dB at an equivalence ratio of 0.7. An artistic sound plot spans across the bottom of the image.”
L. Justin Williams (University of Alabama)


Third Place — “The Heated Man in the Moon”
“This Schlieren Image captures a turbulent hydrogen jet mixing with quiescent air (on the right), ignited by a spark plug (on the left) and the flame propagating through a constant volume combustion chamber.”
Tanisha L. Booker (University of Alabama)


First Place — “Fire's Ribbons and Lace”
“The delicate and fractal nature of charring cellulose is amplified here in repeated magnified images of a flame spread front over ashless filter paper.”
Sandra Olson (NASA Glenn Research Center), Fletcher Miller (San Diego State University), Indrek Wichman (Michigan State University)


Second Place (tie) — “The Devil's in the Small-Scale Details”
“The research around the picture involves predicting the flame spread on warehouse fires using small-scale cone calorimet er data. The image shows a test performed on the cone calorimeter in which 2 cardboard cells are set up and free burned to better understand the burning characteristics of a larger packed commodity box. The outer shell of the box is corruga ted cardboard and the fuel inside consists of polystyrene cups. The image shows the polystyrene burning after the front face of cardboard has burned away. The mass loss rate from the tests is then used to predict flame spread on large 30-40 foot stacks of boxes stored in warehouses.”
Kristopher Overholt (Worchester Polytechnic Institute)


Second Place (tie) — “Man Makes Fire, Fire Makes Man”
“This short exposure photograph of a non-premixed turbulent jet flame of ethylene burning in quiescent air captures detac hed flamelets with an eerily human form.”
Scott Skeen (Washington University in St. Louis)


Second Place
“This is a photo of a full scale flare being tested at sunset at the John Zink R&D Test Center in Tulsa, OK.”
Chuck Baukal (John Zink Company)

did this in our chemistry lab monday. burned elements over a bunsen burner and observed their color. potassium

cool fires bros

You can buy cool salts at fireplace stores (and in the fireplace sections of stores like walmart) that burn all different colors. Once I even bought packs of salts whose job is to clean your chimney but they also burn all different colors. They were in plastic tubes and you just throw the tube into the fire, no need to open it or anything.

gonna buy to has bamf house firez

but why potato

[theholycow]

I fuckin love potatoes.
