Abstract

"The objective of this research is to develop an approach which would incorporate effects of ambient temperature in calculating the smoke mass losses, such that the model evaporative mass losses from disseminated obscurants can accurately modeled as function of temperature. Such development would provide a better estimate of cloud density for obscurant clouds generated with liquid obscurant materials."--Introduction, page 14.
