Engineering Physics Annotation << Back Influence heat and mass transfer on ignition of peat A.N. Subbotin, R.N. Kulesh Influence heat and mass transfer on ignition of peat by a local external source of heat of the cylindrical form is investigated. On the basis of numerical calculations the minimal energy of a source of the set sizes inflammable peat at different values of humidity and conditions of heat exchange of a source with an environment is certain. Dependences of time of warming up on size of an average thermal stream and humidity of peat are found. The coordination on reference temperature of a source and time of warming up with the experiments lead in laboratory conditions is received. Keywords: Heat and mass transfer, peat, the minimal energy of ignition, a source of heat, humidity. E-mail: subbot@vtomske.ru
