In this book, the issues on the combustion of solids raised, which have not been considered
in the earlier books “The Modes of Gaseous Combustion”(Springer, Heat and Mass Transfer …

Nanoscaled pyrophoric nickel powders were synthesized by the decomposition of nickel
formate layers 1–3 mm thick in a flow of hydrogen at 209 C and then passivated in a flow of …

We study the homogenization of a double porosity diffusion problem in a thin highly
heterogeneous composite medium formed by two materials separated by an imperfect …

Smoldering combustion occurs when a solid is burned in a narrow channel between two
parallel plates. A fingering pattern is then formed owing to the instability of smoldering front …

This paper presents numerical and experimental results of the smoldering propagation
along a thin solid in a narrow space. This study particularly focuses on the formation of a …

In this paper, we study the homogenization of a diffusion problem in a highly heterogeneous
composite medium formed by two constituents separated by an imperfect interface, where …

The model analyzed in this paper has its origins in the description of composites made by a
hosting medium containing a periodic array of inclusions coated by a thin layer consisting of …

This book presents new data on combustion processes for practical applications, discussing
fire safety issues in the development of flame arresters and the use of noble metals in …

The goal of this paper is to analyze, through homogenization techniques, the effective
thermal transfer in a periodic composite material formed by two constituents, separated by …

We study the homogenization of a scalar problem posed in a composite medium made up of
two materials, a positive and a negative one. An important feature is the presence of a flux …
