Spectroscopic Investigation of Metal Combustion

摘要: Time resolved spectroscopy, ordinary flame spectra and photographs establish the fact that Al and Mg can burn in the vapor phase and Zr cannot in a flashbulb environment. It appears that the vapor phase burning criterion put forth earlier by Glassman must be modified to include the rate of heat loss, particularly radiative. In an attempt to increase the understanding of metal particle combustion, schemes are postulated to correlate qualitatively the burning behavior of metals with the physical properties of the metals and …
