Notes:
This paper studies the non-linear heat conduction problem of spontaneous ignition of a reactive solid by using the dual reciprocity formulation of the boundary element method. First, critical values of the Frank-Kamenetskii parameter δ are computed for some common geometrical shapes. Then, transient analyses are carried out for values of δ below and above δc, producing the expected behaviour, with ignition occurring for δ 〉 δc.
