SELFIGNITION OF COAL IN AN OPEN STORE-HOUSE

Abstract

Selfignition of coal in an open store-house of the trade firm has served as a model for researching the developed occurrences. The coal of similar quality has heen stored in a different way by partitions. Selfignition appeared, but not in all the partitions, as the result of different conditions in storing, i.e. greatness of the store-space, quantity of the stored coal, and in particular, because of impossibility of airing the coal heap during the time of storing. The results confirmed previous notions giving, at the same time, new insight in this problem which is presented in this article (the paper is published in Croatian).
