This article looks at the analysis of heat transfer due to combustion of reactive materials in a stockpile modelled in a cylindrical domain. The transient heat analysis is studied through the investigation of effects kinetic parameters, embedded on the differential equation governing the problem, have on the temperature of the system. The temperature patterns due to the parameters effect, are depicted in graphs generated through Maple software. The complicated nonlinear partial differential equation is solved numerically using Finite difference method (FDM). The results show that parameters such as the order of reaction slow down the exothermic chemical reaction, while parameters like the reaction rate enhance the combustion process.
