Stable and critical heat- and mass-transfer regimes of a traveling carbon particle

We consider the effect of the relative velocity of a carbon particle on the specific features of the time dependences of the temperature and dimater of the particle at given temperatures of air and the wall of a reaction device and at a specified oxygen concentration in the medium. The stable and critical values of the temperature and combustion rate of the particle versus the initial particle diameter at its given velocity and the relative velocity of a particle of given size are studied. The effect of the diameter and velocity of the particle on the critical values of its initial temperature, which determine ignition inside hysteresis loops, is analyzed. The dependences of the critical particle diameter at which the thermal regime changes (ignition and extinction) on the relative particle velocity are derived.
