After opening with an introduction to prerequisite technical information, the book goes on to cover the mathematical theory behind thermal explosion, with detailed explanations of how thermal explosion can develop in different media and under different conditions and strategies and techniques that can be used to prevent thermal explosion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders will learn how to recognize thermal explosion hazards within technical designs and operation procedures, including for lithium ion batteries, biofuels, biomaterials, and microcombustors, predict the circumstances that may cause a thermal explosion in a particular design or process, and develop optimal mitigating strategies for these risks. Each chapter is supported by extensive example problems that introduce readers to a universal notation that can be used as a framework for developing and reporting their own research results. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTopics covered in \u003ci\u003eThermal Explosion\u003c\/i\u003e include: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Steady-state theory: the Semenov formulation and planar, cylindrical, and spherical symmetry cases in the Frank-Kamenetskii formulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Generalized boundary conditions, dynamical regimes, thermal explosion in a region of arbitrary shape, and nonsteady thermal explosion theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Thermal explosion in two-phase porous systems and spotted, diffusion, and conjugate thermal explosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e One- and two-variable thermal explosion models of fire flashover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Thermal explosion prevention through management of cooling flows and other passive methods, inertization, and cooling one- and two-phase media injections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThermal Explosion\u003c\/i\u003e is an essential, up-to-date reference on the subject for engineering researchers and professionals, along with mathematicians and other scientists working in related fields.
