Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A criterion defining the explosion time as a function of initial temperature and surface temperature has been derived from an approximate solution of the heat conduction equation for the semi-infinite explosive x>0 at initial temperatures and surface temperature. The chemical reaction is assumed to follow zero order kinetics. For different values of the initial and surface temperatures, the derived explosion times are compared with those previously calculated from numerical solutions and the agreement is found to be satisfactory.
