UCI LFA E-FIELD Flames study 2 (Electric-Field Effects on Laminar Diffusion Flames)

November 18, 2020 by YCC

“These experiments have been in preparation since 1996 and finally completed in 2018.” DDR said.

Dr. Chien, “On the 1st test day, we had no clue about what was happening in microgravity with this behavior”

ACME space flames

November 16, 2020 by YCC

30s – “If you are following ACME, you will figure out that not so long ago, the full ACME experiments had ignited 1000 flames on the International Space station (ISS).” said by Dr. Chien.

1000 Points of Light on the ISS

August 8, 2020 by YCC

Lit > 1000 flames in space now!
Electric-Field Effects on Laminar Diffusion Flames (E-FIELD Flames) experiment at UC Irvine (operated by Dr. Chien and Prof. Dunn-Rankin with NASA Glenn) contributed around 1/5th of it on the International Space Station (ISS) as one of the experiments of ACME.

E-FIELD Flames microgravity image is now on the NASA Task Book Site (Electric-Field Effects on Laminar Diffusion Flames)

December 9, 2019 by YCC

NASA has implemented our “E-FIELD Flames in µg on the ISS” image on the Task Book site.

This image is composed of three types of methane diffusion flame applied with different electric field forces experimented from the International Space Station. The flame images are original sizes relative to each other without alternation.

This representative image of E-FIELD Flames research is designed and created by Dr. Chien.

ASGSR 2019 – American Society for Gravitational and Space Research: E-FIELD Flames

November 21, 2019 by YCC

Dr. Chien presented “Microgravity Experiments Examining Electric Field Effects on Laminar Methane Gas-Jet Diffusion Flames,” at American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR) Annual Meeting 2019 in Denver.

It was snowing outside during the talk.

Spring Design Review Display Day

June 12, 2019 by YCC

The third quarter of the senior design project crossing 2018 – 2019. There are several great design projects motivated by different competitions such as different types of racecar, UAV/plane team projects. I was caught when conversing with a team member from the ConSat project (middle in the photograph).

I served as a judge in the Spring Design Project display. It is tough for the students to balance between the real-painful learning experience and the simple experience.

Life is a journey learning doing things you don’t like, and keep on going until you are love in it. That is called enjoy.

Early ISS results are presented at the U.S. National Combustion Meeting: Electric-Field Effects on Laminar Diffusion Flames (E-FIELD Flames)

March 26, 2019 by YCC

Dr. Chien presented early ISS results of methane diffusion flame using coflow burner without coflowing gas at two different fuel concentration from the paper “Ion Current and Flame Changes with Electric Fields in Microgravity”. (see @space.flames below) She also served as the session chair of Laminar Flames.

Her supervised undergraduate senior design project team, Hot Air Balloon – Engineering, also attend and presented their hot air balloon emission measurement work.

12 Years Musical Stack Challenge — Mechanical Engineering Design (MAE151)

March 22, 2019 by YCC

The cheering sound with applause at the end of the musical stack challenge while doing my best to keeping the record for this final event (was holding the camera in the audience). It is honored to be one of the judges for the presentation.
