CONJUGATE PROBLEM OF A THERMAL EXPLOSION WITH BOUNDARY CONDITIONS OF THE SECOND KIND
R. Sh. Gainutdinov UDC 536.46 The problem of the thermal explosion of a reagent in the form of a plane layer that is in contact with an inert plate is solved analytically with boundary conditions of the second kind. Critical conditions for the thermal explosion, depending on the heat-flux density and the kinetic and thermophysical parameters of the plate, are investigated. An engineering method for determination of the critical conditions for the thermal explosion is proposed. Kazan State Technological University, Kazan, Russia.
