Two-step low-temperature oxidation for thermal stability analysis of a combustible sphere

Thermal stability of reactive materials in a stockpile which spontaneously ignites is investigated in this article. The stockpile is modeled in a spherical domain assumed to be of a constant thermal conductivity. The energy equation is modified to a partial differential equation that is most suitabl...
