Figure 1
Schematic diagram showing a linear combustion front and various heat-affected regions of a solid undergoing combustion synthesis. The distance and direction traversed by the combustion front (right to left) which creates the various zones along the sample at a given time is depicted along the x axis. The temperature, rate of heat release and fraction of reactant converted are plotted vertically in arbitrary scales (adapted from Merzhanov, 1990a). |
