On Heat Transfer Analysis for a Sphere of Combustible Material of Variable Thermal Conductivity

This article considers an exothermic chemical reaction taking place in a stockpile of reactive material with a thermal conductivity that is temperature dependent. The study is modeled in a spherical domain whose carbon-containing material reacts spontaneously with the oxygen trapped within the syste...
