Abstract
A single sodium droplet combustion experiments is used for the validation. The model predictions of falling velocity and burned mass are in good agreement with experimental data. Additionally, parametric studies were performed to investigate the effects of initial droplet diameter, temperature and oxygen concentration on burning rate and on ignition time delay. Once sufficiently validated, the present method can be used for safety evaluation of a sodium fast reactor.
