Abstract:
An adjoint distributed mathematical model is proposed to describe the ignition and combustion of a magnesium particle with allowance for the gas area surrounding the particle. The combustion process is modeled within the framework of the single-phase Stefan problem. Verification of the model on the basis of available experimental values of ignition and combustion times under various conditions is performed.
Keywords:ignition, combustion, heterogeneous chemical reaction, mathematical modeling, free boundary.
