Abstract
Thermogravimetric measurement in an inert medium and the simplest kinetic equations are used to obtain thermokinetic constants for drying and pyrolizing typical forest fuels. The adequacy of the model is demonstrated experimentally. Materials are identified for which a single value of the kinetic constants can be used. Methods are suggested for using these values in a general mathematical model of forest fires.
