“…Combustion of sprayed liquid fuels occurs in many energy systems [1,2], installations [3,4] and apparatus [5,6]. The regularities of the droplet combustion of such fuels have been studied for a long time [7,8] and intensively [9].…”
Abstract.The results of an experimental investigation of ignition liquid fuel (kerosene, diesel fuel) by the single drops under conditions of radiation-conducting heating in air are presented. The dependences of the ignition delay time of the typical fuels droplets on the initial temperature of the heated oxidant in a limited space are established. The parameters of stable ignition of liquid fuel droplets are set.

“…The steady spread of ignition along the lower tiers of forest vegetation and litter is often the cause crown fire. Deceleration of the fire front and elimination of forest fires involves dropping the extinguishing liquid directly into the combustion zone [3][4][5]. The aviation park for firefighting in boreal zone often includes tankers, seaplanes and helicopters, equipped with special tanks for collecting, transporting and draining the water.…”
Abstract. This article presents findings of experimental research into suppressing the thermal decomposition of forest fuel (birch leaves, spruce needles, kindling wood and mixed forest fuel) under conditions of exposure water aerosol and single water droplets, as well as water with specialized additives. We used typical model of fire source with fixed height 0.04 m and varied diameter 0.02-0.1m. Water spraying process, as well as interaction between water and forest fuel was registered using highspeed video camera (recording frequency 6•10 5 fps) and panoramic optical methods ("Particle Image Velocimetry", "Shadow Photography"). We established principles of water additions' influence on termination of combustion and thermal decomposition of fire source model.
“…Accurate measuring the parameters above mentioned is most critical in developing such technologies as firefighting by using flows with different additives [2], thermal treatment of waste water or industrial water [3], cooling heated surfaces [4][5][6], etc.…”
Abstract.We developed an experimental setup equipped with tube furnace for continuous heating of heterogeneous drops at a constant temperature and high-speed camera to study characteristics of phase transitions at interfaces of these drops. Also, an experimental procedure was proposed to estimate time characteristics of processes occurring when heated heterogeneous drops in high-temperature environment. As an example, at temperature of heating of 1373 K, lifetime of 15 μl water drop with 1 mm solid inclusion made of natural graphite in high-temperature environment equals almost to 1 s. Experimental data also enabled to reveal minimum temperature at which intensive vaporization of 5 μl, 10 μl and 15 μl drops with inclusions in size of 2×2×2 mm proceeds with explosive breakup. This temperature equals to 803 ± 10 K depending on initial water volume in heterogeneous drops.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
