Effect of Thermal Radiation on Ignition Time and Critical Temperature of a Single Sodium Droplet

The present study addresses the problem of ignition of a single sodium droplet, which is an important issue for the nuclear facilities safety. The study follows the approach of previous works and extends the results of those papers to the case of radiative heat loss. The contribution of the thermal...
