Calculation of the Frank-Kamenetskii critical parameter for a cubic reactant shape from experimental results on bituminous coals
Using results previously reported for the spontaneous heating of bituminous coals, the Frank-Kamenetskii parameter is calculated in respect of each for the cubic reactant assembly used in the original experimental work. Comparisons are made with the results of other attempts to obtain this quantity by means of ignition experiments.
