A Model for Critical Behaviour in a Liquid Explosive Experiencing Dual Ambient Temperatures

摘要

A well-stirred liquid explosive will have a uniform internal temperature as the self-heating takes its course, and the Semenov model of thermal ignition, which makes use of a single reacting temperature with a temperature step at the boundary between reactant and surroundings, will therefore be applicable. Such a situation will be characterised by two temperatures: the reactant temperature T which varies with time and the ambient temperature T_o which is constant.
