Features

Proper management is essential because exothermic reaction of coals and biomass fuels during low-temperature oxidation causes self-heating and spontaneous combustion of them. In some cases, smoking and ignition may occur.

Macro mechanism of self-heating

The amount of reaction between fuel and oxygen and the subsequent heat of reaction have a significant impact on self-heating

Evaluates and predicts exothermic reaction using a reaction model based on actual measurements and a simulation that consider the external environment
