- Abstract
- The phenomena associated with solid fuel fire extinguishment processes are related to the evaporation of water droplets deposited on hot solids. Results of the model describing the coupled thermal behavior of an evaporating droplet deposited on a semi-infinite solid surface are validated with experimental data. The hypotheses leading to a simplified model for the liquid droplet evaporation are tested against these more comprehensive computations. Insight into the evaporative cooling behavior of high and low thermal conductivity solids is obtained.
