 BlazeTech Corporation
Our services to the aircraft industry include R&D,
testing, model and simulation, safety audits,
consulting, accident investigation/reconstruction and
product/technology assessment. Our products
include a flash/fire discriminator; a variety of fire,
explosion and structural damage software such as
BlazeTankTM for fuel tank explosion calculations;
FuelShieldTM to protects fuel tanks against ullage
explosion and hydrodynamic ram; and unique
instrumentation to characterize aerosolized flows
(particles size, shape, temperature and mass flux).
Lecturers
Dr. N. Albert Moussa, Course developer, main
instructor and Technical Director of BlazeTech with
over 40 years of experience in fire and explosion in
civilian and military aircraft. He authored one book
on flammability and over 150 publications and
reports. He has worked on small- and full-scale
testing of aircraft materials, components and entire
systems, fire and explosion modeling and the
design of fire detection and suppression systems.
Since 1996, he has consulted on the major aircraft
fire/explosion accidents in the US and overseas. His
forewarnings about aircraft fuel system
vulnerabilities before the TWA800 and Concorde
disasters have gained him prominence in US and
European media. His credentials include: William
Lockwood Memorial Lecture Award, Engineer of the
Year by the NE- AIAA Section, AIAA distinguished
Lecturer, Best Papers by SAE and ASEI, and
several ASME citations. He served on national
committees and was Associate Editor of an ASME
Journal. He received his Bachelor degree (with
Honors) from Stanford and Master/Doctoral degrees
from MIT, with both dissertations focusing on fire.
Dr. Vijay V. Devarakonda, Vice President of
BlazeTech. His specializes in fuels and combustion,
fire and explosion effects, fire detection and
suppression, reaction kinetics and optical
instrumentation. He developed specialized
engineering software for fires and explosions (e.g.,
energetic material cookoff, dust explosion, pool fire,
BLEVE, jet fire, and battery fire); and hardware
technologies for explosion suppression in fuel tanks,
and aerosol pyrometry. He has more than 75
publications in related areas. He received his
B.Tech from the Indian Institute of Technology,
Mumbai and a Ph.D from the University of
Kentucky.
