โฆ Synopsis
Liouville's nonlinear partial differential equation is considered for an infinite rectangular strip domain with mixed boundary conditions. It arises in the determination of the two-dimensional temperature distribution within an exothermically reacting slab having parts of its surface insulated and the remainder offering no resistance to heat transter. For symmetrical heating, with insulating strips on upper and lower surfaces, the critical Frank-Kamenetskii parameter is found to be 6c(e) = 6e(0)(l --e --0.555e 3/2 + -..), where 8c(0) = 0.878 and E, assumed small, is the ratio of the insulation width to the slab thickness.

Thermal stability of reacting masses of slab and cylindrical form, having parts of their surfaces insulated and the remainder offering no resistance to heat transfer, is investigated; only symmetrically heated reactants are considered.

The thermal stability of reacting masses of varied geometries with partial insulation is examined. Upper and lower bounds for the critical value of the Frank-Kamenetskii parameter are determined, and numerical values for this parameter are obtained when the reactant takes the form of a long rod of s
