The paper analyses new data for three fuels, natural gas, methane and Coke Oven Gas (COG) in two swirl burners. Flashback and blowoff can be correlated with the inlet tangential velocity, not the inlet mass flow, over a range of swirl numbers from 0.8 to more than 4. Geometry and fuel type are...

An outwardly propagating spherical flame configuration has been used to characterise the combustion of different blended steelworks gas compositions, under atmospheric ambient conditions. A nonlinear extrapolative technique was used to obtain values of laminar burning speed and Markstein length...

Despite developments in technology, design and marketing, many new food products are not successfully commercialised. Communication between key players with different expertise (food technologists, consumers scientists, end consumers, etc.) seems crucial to improve food technology development,...

As a consequence of recent food safety incidents, consumer trust in European food safety management has diminished. A risk governance framework that formally institutes stakeholder (including consumer) consultation and dialogue through a transparent and accountable process has been proposed,...

Evidence of a decline in public trust associated with food risk governance over recent years has called into question the appropriateness of the current dominant risk analysis framework. Within the EU-funded SAFE FOODS project a novel risk analysis framework has been developed that attempts to...

Whilst there has been much debateregarding the importance of public acceptance ofgenetic engineering and its applications, there isevidence to indicate that objections to the technologyare likely to focus on specific applications of thetechnology, rather than genetic engineering per se.Thus it...
