Combustion of Large Aluminum Agglomerate Particles in Air. II. Motion and Combustion Stages of Particles
摘要
The combustion of aluminum agglomerate particles with a diameter of 215–840 µm in free fall in air at atmospheric pressure has been studied. As the particles burn out, the initially spherically symmetric combustion is replaced by an asymmetric one, fragmentation occurs, and the combustion process ultimately ends with the formation of an oxide residue. These events are characterized by corresponding times. In this paper, the duration of the symmetric combustion stage is determined to be on average 0.5 ± 0.1 of the combustion time. Empirical approximating dependences of the coordinate x(t) and velocity
