Abstract The combustion of a bed of particles impregnated with carbon is considered. An analysis is developed for the combustion wave after it has progressed some distance into the bed. It is shown that the calculations are considerably simplified by choosing a coordinate system that moves with the combustion wave and by neglecting dispersion of heat or mass.
