“…Hamins et al [44], investigated the heat feedback from the flame to the surface of burning There are a large number of studies devoted to study of burning of crude oil on a water bed in pans with size of less than 1 m in diameter. Ground breaking studies done by Torero et al [41] and Garo et al [52][53][54] to 65% for crude oil and nearly 100% for pure fuels. Over all the regression rates found to be increasing in the beginning of the burn and then staying constant till the end of combustion period.…”

I would like to express my gratitude to my advisor, Prof. Ali Rangwala for his guidance, patience, and providing all the means for doing research. It is a sincere pleasure to thank Prof. Kathy Notarianni who made the whole thing possible for me. I'm grateful that I got to conduct experiments and witness dozens of fire tests during my study. I must also thank Prof. Albert Simeoni who was able to provide me with useful insights for the most part of the project. I should also thank Dr. Lydia Shi lab manager of the Combustion Lab, Sreenivasan Ranganathan, Haoran Li, Minkyu Lee, and Andre DaVitoria who assisted me on every occasion I was in need of help with my experiments. Without question the previous work done by Peter Bellino was the best guidance I could ask. Finally, I would also like to thank my parents, elder sister, and two elder brothers. They were always supporting me and encouraging me with their best wishes even though they were thousands miles away.

“…When spilled on open waters, the crude oil immediately undergoes a weathering process that depends on many variables (Brandvik and Faksness, 2009;Fritt-Rasmussen et al, 2012;Garo et al, 2004). Two of the most relevant weathering processes are evaporation (the crude oil's lighter components evaporate) and emulsification (the oil mixes with water due to wave action) (Brandvik and Faksness, 2009;Buist et al, 2013).…”

Mid-scale ISB experiments were conducted in a large water-basin (20 m 2 x 1 m) in order to assess the applicability of chemical herding of weathered crude oil spills on water in association with in-situ burning (ISB). A silicone-based chemical herding agent, OP-40, was used to confine, or herd, three different crude oils (Siri, Grane and Oseberg blend) at various weathering degrees. The herding agent was capable of obtaining the minimum required oil slick thickness for ignition and subsequent flame spread in most of the experiments, but not for the strongly weathered oils. Also, the herding agent was capable of re-thickening the oil slick after flame extinction. The burning efficiency results indicate that the method can be viable for ISB with herders at a larger scale, and suggest that the burning efficiency scales with the amount of crude oil. Sinking behaviour of residues was also observed and quantified, as such a behaviour can pose a serious environmental threat in real scenarios.

“…The rate of evaporation is largely governed by the chemical properties (i.e. vapor pressure) of the constituents and, to a lesser degree, by boundary layer saturation [13]. Mackay [14] developed a multi component theory to compute the rate of oil evaporation.…”

This report addresses marine oil spill trajectory modeling and Environmental severity Index mapping with a focus on the Kerala coastal environment. With growing Indian demand for the crude oil the Kerala coastal area will be exposed to increasing risk of oil spills from marine transport. Oil spill trajectory models are an essential tool for risk assessment related to potential environmental impacts in sensitive areas for Kerala coast and for planning spill response measures. This study is a review of the oil spill modeling literature, special emphasis was given to the physical, biological and ecological coastal area of Kerala having 590Km of coastal line. The first goal is a synthesis of the oil spill trajectory modeling and its various components. The second goal is the identification of the most vulnerable areas to oil spill in the coastal belts of Kerala. A comprehensive oil spill trajectory model for the Kerala coastal area would include: 1) Models for the physical environment (Wind, air temperature, precipitation, ocean currents, and waves), 2) An oil spill model to address weathering, evaporation, and other details of the oil's interplay with the marine environment.
