Heat production kinetics and the scope for thermal self-ignition in wheat drying

Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

Heat production has been examined at various oxygen partial pressures in the oxidation and thermal destruction of grain products by the use of a DAK-1-2 differential microcalorimeter. Estimates have been made on the adiabatic induction periods and critical sizes of the grain product layers on a metal surface (boundary conditions of the first kind) in the absence of heat transfer from the other surface. It is found that thermal self-ignition will occur in degenerate mode when thermal destruction is decisive.
