Effects of the Initial Gel Fuel Temperature on the Ignition Mechanism and Characteristics of Oil-Filled Cryogel Droplets in the High-Temperature Oxidizer Medium

The ignition mechanism was studied for a group of gel fuel compositions in a high-temperature oxidizer medium. It was determined how the initial temperature of the fuel influences the ignition characteristics. The gel fuel (oil-filled cryogel) was prepared from an oil emulsion based on the mixture of a combustible liquid and polyvinyl alcohol. The composition of primary oil emulsions was as follows: the aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol (5,...
