Abstract

This paper proposes concrete enhancement of pyrolysis spray disposal performance. Solution to heat equation in particular cases of uniform and non-uniform fluid deposit is yielded as a guide to geometrical and temporal parameters control. Implemented models take into account simultaneously deposited material and targeted device thermal and geometrical properties. Theoretical temperature time-response features are compared to experiment in order to enhance deposition and solidification processes.
