Abstract:
Peat ignition upon exposure to radiant energy was studied experimentally for various kinds typical of bogs of Tomsk Region (Russia) and bogs near the city of Edinburgh (UK). The exposure time and energy density required for ignition of various kinds of peat; the characteristic burning surface temperature; and the range of radiant flux in which the combustion mode changed from flaming to smoldering were determined.
Keywords:peat, combustion, radiation, ignition modes and energy.
