“…The dimensions of the tablets corresponded to the requirements of the used measuring system, and did not exceed 12.5 mm in diameter and 3 mm in height. The density of the samples corresponded to the narrow recommended range (ρ=0.71÷0.83 g/cm 3 ). Powders were stored under ambient humidity at room temperature (18-22 °С).…”

Abstract. The danger of forest fires and their large-scale consequences is facing humanity more and more sharply from year to year. We carried out experimental studies to determine the thermal characteristics (thermal conductivity, heat capacity, thermal diffusivity) and thermokinetic characteristics (activation energy, pre-exponential factor) of typical forest combustible materials and their mixtures for a wide range of temperatures (298-423 K). A generalization of experiments for typical forest combustible materials of the Far Eastern Federal District of Russia was performed. The established experimental values can be used for mathematical modeling of occurrence, propagation and extinguishing of forest fires.

“…Over the past five years, wildfires have claimed the lives of thousands of people around the world, the number of injured people exceeds tens of thousands [1][2][3]. In addition to thousands of hectares of burnt forest massifs, numerous cases of suffocation and poisoning of people with combustion products of forest combustible materials should be noted.…”

Abstract. The danger of forest fires and their large-scale consequences are becoming ever more complex problems for mankind every year. The results of numerical studies of heat transfer processes under suppressing the thermal decomposition reaction of forest combustible materials by films and groups of water droplets are presented. We used forest combustible materials, typical for the Siberian region. We have established the relationship between the dimensions of the heated near-surface layer of the material and the thickness of the film layer of the liquid that evaporated when the thermal decomposition reaction was suppressed in forest combustible materials. Typical times of suppression of the thermal decomposition reaction of typical forest combustible materials are given when the water film on the surface evaporates. The influence of the mutual arrangement of droplets on the surface of the forest combustible material and the temperature of the outer vapor-gas mixture on the times of suppression of its pyrolysis is revealed. The results can be used to develop technologies for extinguishing fires, containment of flame sources and combustion front.
