Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

It is my pleasure to review this paper.  The paper presents the experimental research results of the evaporation of specialized composition droplets for extinguishing fires under different heat supply schemes.

Overall, the experimental setup is well presented. Please consider the following suggestions:

(1)    It will be better to redraw Figure 7, which needs to show the clear difference between different samples,  especially in the range 0 to 750 of the vertical axis.

 

(2)    A separate conclusion section should be added.

Reviewer 2 Report

1. The conclusions need to be added instead of merely discussions.

2. Abstract need to be improved for highlighting the scientific significance and direct link to forest fires.

Reviewer 3 Report

Line 66: Not sure the purpose of this sentence. Should probably delete or reposition a few sentences later when reference to Boreal forests is made.

 Figure 1: There is mislabeling; the second “(d)” should be “(e)”

 This paper is well-written with only very few corrections in the text. I was a bit disappointed in the Discussion section that no time was spent on the practical applications in regard to recommendations on aerially applied fire retardants. I suppose this paper was written for only researchers, as practitioners will often jump to Discussions/Conclusions to find useful material, and in this case it is not there. Only useful material for researchers is present. It might be more useful to further explain why The purpose of this research is to determine the characteristics of evaporation of promising fire extinguishing agent droplets when varying the temperature and heat supply method. Are you trying to identify better aerially applied fire retardants?
