Physics of Flames
註釋Theoretical and experimental analyses of flame spreading across pools of liquid fuels and the ignitability of such pool under quiescent and flowing environments are presented. The fundamental concept is that, when the temperature of the liquid fuel is below the flash point, convection currents in the liquid play a dominant role in both ignitability and flame spreading. These currents are induced by either or both surface tension and buoyancy forces. A theoretical analyses related to ignition of fuels by projectiles is presented. A brief section on the combustion of nitrocellulose-base propellants is included. (Author).
