Self-heating of porous lignocellulosic and coal particles

该项目开发了对澳大利亚经济具有重大价值的材料自发加热模型，其自热行为导致了这些材料加工行业的生命损失和重大材料损失。结果将立即适用于以比目前更严格的方式评估加工工厂自燃风险。此外，这项调查的结果将大大改善对自燃造成的温室气体排放的估计。

This project develops models for spontaneous heating of materials, which have substantial value to Australian economy, and whose self-heating behaviour have led to loss of life and significant material losses in industries processing these materials. The results will be immediately applicable to evaluate risks of spontaneous ignition in process plants in a more rigorous manner than performed presently. Furthermore, findings of this investigation will allow considerable improvement in estimating green house gas emissions as a consequence of spontaneous combustion.
