THE KINETICS OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND HEAT 
AND MASS EXCHANGE OF CARBON PARTICLES WITH GASES

The problem of the heat and mass transfer and the 
kinetics of chemical transformation of a carbon particle (C + O2  CO2 (I), 
2C + O  2CO (II), 
C + CO2  2CO (III) is solved 
within the framework of the model of a reduced film with account for 
the Stefan flow and natural and forced convection. Analytical expressions 
are obtained for the velocity of the Stefan flow, the rates of chemical 
reactions, the concentrations of gaseous components, the densities 
of the heat and mass fluxes, and the density of chemical heat release 
on the surface of the carbon particle.
