Abstract
Several models for the self-heating of coal resulting from the chemisorption of oxygen are investigated. All of the models investigated include the effect of a diminishing reaction rate. The various mathematical forms used to represent the diminishing part of the reaction are compared and a new formulation in the form of a generic power-law model is introduced. Results from the new model are compared with those obtained using previous models.
