Assessment of the Stability of Condensed Solid Substance Ignition by a Hot Particle

Abstract

The paper presents a numerical simulation of composite fuel ignition by a disc-shaped hot metal particle. The study establishes the temperature and the source size limits, which are necessary and sufficient for condensed substance ignition. A diagram with coordinates “a heat flow the amplitude – ignition delay time” has been presented. The diagram shows the area of the sustainable initiate combustion of composite solid fuel at local heating by the source with limited energy capacity.
