Abstract
The paper reports experimental methods for studying soot formation upon thermal decomposition of carbon and fiberglass plastics in flows of high-temperature gas and flame. The mechanism of the process is analyzed and its microkinetic parameters are determined. The problem of unsteady heating of a semi-infinite body of semitransparent fiberglass plastic is formulated and solved numerically taking into account the process of soot formation under conditions of radiant-convective heat transfer. A comparison of calculation results with experimental data is given in dimensionless variables.
