An extraordinary deviceless self-sustained oscillatory diffusive burning is observed in tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) (technical pure) and hybrid fuel, i.e., TBPB and kerosene (both 50%) flames when burned in form of pool fires. Such oscillations or more precisely self-sustained deviceless control of mass burning (flow) is not reported till date. Generally, devices comprising electronic control system and/or mechanical means (valves) are necessary to produce such oscillatory burning or control of fuel flow. This unique oscillation is strongly recorded for pool diameters of 6 cm ≤ d ≤ 11 cm beyond which the effect was weakened and unseen (hid) visually. The fuel regression (loss) takes place in irregular time steps and is formulated in form of a step function. The variation in fuel mass burning rates, visible flame lengths and radiation heat fluxes with time are measured as respective representatives of oscillations. The periodicity in the strongest oscillations in relative visible flame lengths is investigated and the measured data are found to be best fitted in sinusoidal form. Both, chemical and thermal effects are shown to be possibly responsible for such effects. Furthermore, a theory is offered to characterise similar effect showing fuels.
Due to their extreme high hydrogen contents, high molecular weight (HMW-) and ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW-) polyethylene (PE) are a comprehensible choice as neutron radiation shielding material in casks for storage and transport of radioactive materials. But as a direct consequence of inserting radioactive material in such casks, gamma radiation occurs. Hence, the impact of gamma radiation on the molecular structure of polyethylene has to be taken into consideration. Consequently, PE has to withstand any type of gamma radiation induced degradation affecting safety relevant aspects in order to be applicable for long term neutron radiation shielding purposes during the whole storage period (in Germany, for instance, up to 40 years). The scope of our investigation comprises an estimation of the impact of gamma radiation and temperature on the molecular and supra molecular structure of the two types of PE used as neutron radiation shielding cask components. A further point which is worth exploring is to what extent these changes are detectable by conventional analysis methods. Therefore, thermoanalytical measurements were performed such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo mechanical analysis (TMA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Additionally optical and weighing methods were applied. With those methods it is possible to detect structural changes in polyethylene induced by exposure to gamma radiation. The observed amounts of changes of the irradiated material are not safety relevant for the application of polyethylene as neutron radiation shielding material; moreover, some properties actually improve via irradiation.
