Evidence for the transition from the diffusion-limit in aluminum particle combustion
TL;DR: In this paper, the transition from gas-phase diffusion-limited combustion for aluminum particles began to occur at a particle size of 10μm at a pressure of 8.5μm, indicating that reactions are occurring at or near the particle surface rather than in a detached diffusion flame.
