Abstract EN
Transitional phenomena of smoldering combustion over thin solid fuels are investigated.
An experimental setup was upraised and implications of both smoldering and flaming external heat sources are estimated.
Incense sticks were used as potential fuel and external smoldering heat source along with a fixed candle flame.
The role of key controlling parameters, namely, separation distance and number of external heat sources in horizontal and vertical direction, was extensively examined.
The surfacing issues of enclosure effect and the external heat sources orientation are addressed.
The study primarily aims at understanding the feasibility and spontaneity of transition owing to external heat sources (both flaming and smoldering).
Forward heat transfer significantly deviates qualitatively and quantitatively with varying separation distance in both directions.
Number of external heat sources intensifies the transition phenomenon in smoldering combustion.
With practical considerations, external heat sources arrangement and orientation have substantial effect on the combustion process.
