| Abstract: | Summary A study of the ignition of pyroxylin, polyvinyl nitrate, barium azide, and nitrostarch in a hot gas in the temperature range 200–600° C with induction periods of 0.1–100 sec has shown that the laws of the process are determined by exothermic reactions in the condensed phase and may be quantitatively described on the basis of the modern thermal theory. The theoretical relations can be used to determine the effective kinetic parameters of the high-temperature high-speed reactions of thermal decomposition of condensed substances from ignition experiments.Fizika Goreniya i Vzryva, Vol. 3, No. 4, pp. 512–526, 1967 |
