The Safety of Hot Self-Heating Materials

The predictions of Thomas's Hot Spot Theory of the self-heating of volumes of hot material in a cool environment have been examined experimentally for a 0.61 m cube of mixed hardwood sawdust. Thomas's theory agrees well with the experimentally determined critical ignition temperature for a...

Zusammenfassung:The predictions of Thomas's Hot Spot Theory of the self-heating of volumes of hot material in a cool environment have been examined experimentally for a 0.61 m cube of mixed hardwood sawdust. Thomas's theory agrees well with the experimentally determined critical ignition temperature for a given size of cube.
