Ignition of a Reactive Solid Exposed to a Step in Surface Temperature

Abstract: Abstract. The title problem is classical in ignition theory. Here it is solved by an asymptotic analysis in which the nondimensional activation energy is treated as a large parameter. Inert and reactive zones are identified, and a temperature peak develops in the latter during a stage of transition to ignition. A criterion of thermal runaway yields a formally correct asymptotic expansion for the ignition time which agrees with results of numerical integrations if the activation energy is sufficiently large.

“…For large values of 5 ignition takes place, without significant change in the hot-spot temperature, at a time 77 = I/x5, first given by Zel'dovich (1963). This time is modified substantially when higher order terms are retained in an asymptotic expansion for large RT¡/E, as shown by Liñán and Williams (1979).…”

“…La ignición producida por el aumento de la temperatura superficial hasta un valor constante en un sólido semiinfinito ha sido también analizada mediante técnicas asintóticas por Liñán y Williams [LW3]. Como en [LW1] es posible identificar una zona de reacción superficial y una región inerte.…”

“…Esto es consecuencia de que el espesor de la zona de reacción, £ r , es mucho menor que la longitud típica del sólido, £. Si el período de tiempo en el que se desarrolla la ignición es pequeño la capa calentada por conducción desde la pared es delgada, y el sólido, visto desde la escala asociada a esta capa de conducción, aparece como infinito de manera que la solución correspondiente al sólido semiinfinito desarrollada en [LW3] (lo que constituye un problema universal) puede, en primera aproximación, aplicarse para determinar el tiempo de ignición y la distribución de temperatura.…”
