Abstract

The spatially homogeneous model of a high activation energy thermal explosion is studied when the heat loss parameter a is close to the classically-defined critical value a = e. Asymptotic solutions are developed which describe the time- history of the temperature and reactant depletion. It is shown that there is a critical time period, large with respect to the characteristic conduction time, in which the temperature variation is described by a Riccati equation. The solution properties of this nonlinear equation permit one to define a value of A = a — e which separates subsequent subcritical and supercritical behaviour.
