Abstract:
The effect of phase-transition parameters and chemical conversion kinetics on unsteady combustion of gasless systems with a melting reagent is studied. It is found that the change in the kinetic law and in the chemical reaction rate constant resulting from the emergence of the liquid phase in the system destabilizes the combustion. The mean front velocity in the self-oscillatory mode with an adiabatic burning temperature close to the melting point exceeds the front velocity in the steady-state mode. In this case, the front stability improves with an increase in the rate of heat withdrawal from the system and with a decrease in the burning temperature.
