Experimental Study of Forest Fuel Ignition by the Source of Limited Energy Capacity

摘要

During the experimental study we examined the ignition of the litter of hardwood species by the particle heated up to high temperatures. Our study involved conducting tests, using a carbonic particle and samples of typical forest fuels, formed of birch leaves. We determined a mechanism for litter ignition by a local heating source, and obtained the dependence of ignition delay of birch leaves on the particle's initial temperature. We provided mathematical simulation based on obtained physical model on experimental study.
