The Thermal Theory of the Ignition of Reacting Condensed Substances

The processes involved in the solid-phase ignition of reacting condensed substances, taking place in the absence of mass diffusion due to temperature or concentration gradients, have been examined using a single asymptotic method. An analytical criterion for the ignition of a substance has been formulated, and a basis obtained for a universal linearisation method, which makes it possible to express experimental results statistically in the form of a linear relationship in a special system of coordinates. The question of the range of existence of non-degenerate ignition conditions has been discussed in detail. Experimental data confirming the reliability of the thermal of ignition have been given.
