“…Besides the concentrations of metal and metal-oxide, the burning behaviour is controlled by the particle size, the melting, the evaporation and the decomposition of the particles, the heat of reaction, the heat and mass transfer and the reaction kinetics [6]. Also the distribution and the location of the single particles play an important role in the progression rate and temperature of overall reaction [1]. Numerous investigations on thermite reactions were done using different metals and metal oxides [7] studying burning rates [8,9], influence of particle size [10] and pressure [11,12].…”
