- ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene [ETFE]); microgravity experiments have shown that, when an electric wire (copper wire coated with ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene [ETFE]) is ignited at a point, two spherical diffusion flames move in opposite directions at a constant speed; electric wire insulation burning in microgravity; gas-phase governing equations; wire surface condition and heat conduction equation of copper wire; calculation condition; formation of spherical flame; heat feedback via uncoated wire partand extinction mechanism
