Assessing the Effect of Variable Ambient Temperature on the Self-ignition of a Reaction-diffusion System Employing a Reduced Order Modelling Methodology

The system under study in this work is a self-igniting pile of solid material.To predict and understand the effect of steep changes of the state variables on such systems, a reaction-diffusion model is employed.These systems can exhibit complex oscillatory behaviour, and changes in ambient conditions over time may strongly B Vitamins impact the inh
