SPONTANEOUS IGNITION IN SLABS WITH FACES AT DIFFERING TEMPERATURES

Bowes, P.C. and Thomas, P.H., 1958. SPONTANEOUS IGNITION IN SLABS WITH FACES AT DIFFERING TEMPERATURES. Fire Research Notes 352


ABSTRACT

The theory of thermal explosion is extended to ignition in self-heating slabs with one face maintained at a relatively high temperature and the other face cooling to the surroundings. The theory is of use in connection with ignition in dust layers on hot surfaces and ignition in combustible lagging. Wider applications are considered.
