Screening of thermal radiation of the flame at the fire site by a radial water shield

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The results of investigations of the absorption of thermal radiation from a combustion site by a radial water shield are presented. The dependence of the screening coefficient on the scattering slit width has been established. It is confirmed experimentally that the screening properties of water depend on the composition of the combustion site products.
