Abstract

The same coal at different moisture contents will reach thermal runaway at different times. There is also the possibility that if the coal has a sufficiently high moisture content it cannot reach thermal runaway due to the moisture moderating effects combined with the non-Arrhenius kinetics behaviour at low ambient temperatures.
