The kinetics of solid phase reactions proceeding through nucleation and subsequent nucleus growth is treated by taking into account heat losses by convection and radiation from the reacting solid. A critical initial reaction temperature dependent upon particle size is identified below which the reaction decays and above which explosion can occur.
