Abstract

The reaction of a material with a Gaussian reactivity distribution undergoing exothermic decomposition is considered. Using a number of approximations, critical conditions for simple heat transfer between the reacting system and the environment can be obtained. The approximate formula reduces to the classical condition for a small reactivity variance. The results of numerical modeling of the burnout dynamics of materials with distributed reactivity are presented.
