ABSTRACT
The process o f propagation of a chemical reaction in the form of a combustion wave can develop completely and exclusively in the condensed state and can be described by laws which are similar to those for the gas phase combustion. In particular, the formulas for the combustion rate, obtained by the Zel 'dovich-Frank-Kamenetskii method, are the same for both cases for the reaction of zero order, when it is not necessary to consider the diffusion equation [18.1]. The frontal polymerization, the combustion o f thermite compositions at low pressures, and some other, relatively sparse processes can serve as examples of propagation o f the reaction wave o f the substance in the purely condensed state.
