Abstract:
The study considers a combination of symmetric and asymmetric boundary conditions
on thermal explosion with Arrhenius kinetics for a slab. Realistic assumptions will convert the
energy conservation equation into dimensionless form, and the resulting nonlinear ordinary
differential equation under various boundary conditions will be analytically solved using FrankKamanetskii's methods. This analytical method will yield the critical ignition parameters and the critical ignition temperature. The results were compared with previous studies in literature.
