Adding water to fuel droplets is known to lead to puffing and micro-explosion. Puffing and
micro-explosion lead to a rapid increase in the liquid fuel surface area. This, in turn, leads to …

The explosive breakup of liquid, emulsion, and slurry droplets enables a several-fold
increase of their evaporation surface area. This effect reduces the energy and time required …

The results of new experimental and theoretical investigations of puffing and micro-
explosion of rapeseed oil/water droplets placed in ethanol and propane/butane mixture …

Aerosol forming compositions (AFCs) have come up as one of the most efficient fire
extinguishing Halon alternative since the implementation of Montreal protocol-1987 on …

The article provides experimental research findings on the behavior of micro-explosion and
puffing of two-liquid droplets in different droplet formation schemes: liquid combustible …

The experimental findings on the movement, evaporation, boiling, and breakup of a group of
heterogeneous droplets in a high-temperature gas are presented. The experiments are …

Specialists in forest fire extinguishing consider special fire retardants (solutions,
suspensions, and emulsions), in addition to water, to be the promising. When discharged …

To investigate the efficiency of water mist with additives on suppressing the typical pool fires
including gasoline fire, diesel fire and transformer oil fire, a water mist generating system …

Heterogeneous droplets (multi-phase and multi-component slurries, emulsions and
solutions) are a viable alternative to homogeneous fuels. A dispersed phase, eg water …

In this research, we used a high-speed video-recording system to experimentally study the
surface transformation of droplets of water and water-based slurries, solutions, and …
