Flaming Ignition of Solid Fuels
This chapter will describe how heating of a solid fuel leads to flaming ignition. The discussion will be centred on flaming ignition of solid fuels but will not address smouldering or spontaneous ignition since these subjects will be covered in Chaps. 19 and 20 respectively. Thus, the presence of a source of heat decoupled from the solid and fuel gasification will be assumed throughout the chapter.
