Abstract:
An asymptotic analysis is used to study the ignition of a reactive cylindrical body in which, initially, there is a periodic system of hot spots. The effects of the heat transfer through the side surface of the cylinder and the adjacency of hot spots on the ignition regimes are studied. The solution shows that the critical ignition conditions depend considerably on the heat-transfer regime. The adjacency of the hot spots leads to finite changes in the parameters only if they are sufficiently close to each other. The results obtained for a heat-insulated side surface are compared with known solutions.
