Abstract:
The burning of liquid droplets and spheres considered in
the previous section is instructive, since these are
cases for which theoretical solutions may be directly
obtained. The next more complex, yet still 'simple'
case is of the liquid (or thermoplastic) pool. Over the
last 3 or so decades, an enormous number of studies have
been conducted where pool burning was considered
theoretically or measured empirically. The most
systematic early study was by two Russian researchers,
Blinov and Khudiakov.
