Abstract
The critical value of the dimensionless heat loss parameter is determined for a thermal explosion with reactant consumption. The critical phase trajectory of the system contains an unstable integral manifold as its own portion. Initial conditions corresponding to this trajectory conform to the explosion limit. The technique of asymptotic expansions is used to derive a critical explosion parameterKeywords
