Thermal Radiation Effects on Thermal Explosion in Polydisperse Fuel Spray-Probabilistic Model

We investigate the effect of thermal radiation on the dynamics of a thermal explosion of polydisperse fuel spray with a complete description of the chemistry via a single-step two-reactant model of general order. The polydisperse spray is modeled using a Probability Density Function (PDF). The therm...
