Combustion of a frozen bi-dispersed aluminum-water suspension

Abstract

This paper presents a combustion model of nano- and microsized aluminum mixture frozen in water. The model takes into account combustion of aluminum particles in water vapor, the motion of combustion products, the temperature and velocity differences between particles and gas. The obtained results of the combustion rate depending on pressure and mass ratio between dispersed Al powders are in good agreement with the experimental data described in scientific literature.
