Abstract. An analysis of the space distribution of temperature in the condensed phase of polymer fuel was carried out. In contrast to the standard approach where it is assumed that the polymer fuel absorbs irreversibly both the mass and energy from the area of the products desintegration, in this paper it is assumed that in addition to the irreversible there is reversible absorption as well which is, in any case, a more realistic assessment of occurrences in the condensed phase. On the basis of this general assumption the dependence of the temperature on the depth of the fuel layer was found out. It is shown that the reversible absorption process gives lower temperatures than those predicted by the standard theory. In practice, it means that the fuel is heated slower than believed and that the fire lasts longer.
Key words:   polymer fuel, combustion, heat, fire, condensed phase, reversible and irreversible absorption

ANALIZA POJAVA U KONDENZOVANOJ FAZI
POLIMERNOG GORIVA
Ispitivana je prostorna raspodela temperature u kondenzovanoj fazi polimernog goriva. Za razliku od standardnog prilaza gde se pretpostavlja da polimerno gorivo ireverzibilno apsorbuje masu i energiju iz oblasti produkata razgradnje u ovom radu se pretpostavlja da pored ireverzibilne postoji i reverzibilna apsorpcija što je u svakom slučaju realističnija procena pojava u kondenzovanoj fazi. Na osnovu ove opštije pretpostavke nađena je zavisnost temperature od dubine sloja goriva. Pokazano je da uključivanje procesa reverzibilne apsorbcije daje niže temperature od onih koje predviđa standardna teorija. To u praksi znači da se gorivo sporije zagreva nego što se misli i da je trajanje požara duže.
