Abstract

The microwave heating and ignition of a combustible material is modeled and analyzed in the small Biot number and large activation energy regimes. Both the temporal and spatial evolution of the temperature within the material are described. The ignition characteristics are determined by a localized equation for the perturbation to the inert temperature, which is shown to exhibit thermal runaway behavior. Analysis of this local equation provides explicit ignition conditions in terms of the physical parameters in the problem.
