Report
Fundamental studies of the mechanism of sodium combustion
Description
The following aspects of sodium fires are examined; pool ignition temperatures, pool burning and smoke generation rates, and the chemistry of the vapour phase combustion of sodium and oxygen. The burning and smoke production rates of sodium pool fires have been measured over the temperature range 250 to 7500C. A theory is developed which satisfactorily predicts pool burning rates over the whole temperature range
