Thermal Stability Investigation in a Reactive Sphere of Combustible Material

الملخص EN

An investigation of thermal stability in a stockpile of combustible material is considered.

The combustible material is any carbon containing material that can react with oxygen trapped in a stockpile due to exothermic chemical reaction.

The complicated process is modelled in a sphere and one-dimensional energy equation is used to solve the problem.

The semi-implicit finite difference method (FDM) is applied to tackle the nonlinear differential equation governing the problem.

Graphical solutions are displayed to describe effects of embedded kinetic parameters on the temperature of the system.
