RELATION BETWEEN TEMPERATURE AND IGNITION TIME OF NEEDLES OF YOUNG PINE STANDS

Abstract

The research of the ignition temperature of the needles of young pine plantations during the drying process has been made. Dependences of temperature and time of ignition of needles on time of drying during 7 days under laboratory conditions were received. The property of decrease values of both studied parameters during the time of drying was detected. According to experimental results the average values of ignition temperature and time before young pine needles ignition were obtained. Was determined the values of temperature and time on the first and last day of research, respectively. Dependencies of ignition temperature and time to ignition of young pine needles than drying time are best approximated by polynomial. Are found the errors between the values obtained during the experiment and models.
