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

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
