The theory of thermal explosions is formulated in such a way that the consumption of fuel is included fully even in the zeroth approximation when time stretching is avoided. The critical conditions are identical with those derived in the Semenov theory which ignores the consumption of fuel. The temp

The Semenov theory of thermal explosion without fuel consumption cannot be derived correctly from the exact equations describing the problem, i.e. the equations with fwzl consumption. The limiting process used to derive the former from the latter (E -+ 0, B -+ -) is shown to involve an infinite stre
A form of practical stability, based on experimental reproducibility, is defined, and called insensitivity, to emphasise the most important physical characteristic shown by chemically reacting systems possessing this property. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the insensitivity of an exoth
Thermal explosion theory is applied to a system comprising one chemically reacting medium embedded in another. The model makes use of Semenov's treatment. The Arrhenius part of the heat production term is simplified by means of the exponential approximation, and because of the assumption of spatiall
This paper is concerned with the relationship between element and species material balances for steady-state chemically reacting systems. Conditions are given under which element and species balances are equivalent and can be used interchangeably. The number of independent equations furnished by bot
