Method and apparatus for monitoring gas concentration in a fluid (2011)
Patent
Lam, J., Ratcliffe, N. M., & Smith, S. (2011). Method and apparatus for monitoring gas concentration in a fluid. US8081313 B2

A monitor for monitoring gas concentration in an aerospace application is described, one such application being measuring the concentration of oxygen in or next to aviation fuel. The monitor comprises: a substance, the spectroscopic properties of whi... Read More about Method and apparatus for monitoring gas concentration in a fluid.

Dimensional modelling of the fuel outgassing phenomenon: Improving flammability assessment of aircraft fuel tanks (2011)
Journal Article
Harris, A. P., & Ratcliffe, N. M. (2011). Dimensional modelling of the fuel outgassing phenomenon: Improving flammability assessment of aircraft fuel tanks

Fuel outgassing (oxygen evolution) within aircraft fuel tanks presents a serious flammability hazard. Time constants representing oxygen transfer rate, from the fuel into a tank’s ullage, are used to model the effect of outgassing on tank flammabilit...
