Abstract
This chapter discusses that the Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS), or the combustion synthesis is emerging as an attractive way to produce advanced materials. Due to the convective and radiant heat losses, there exists a maximal converted length of a dense pellet synthesized by the SHS method. The chapter investigates the possibility to increase that maximal converted length by cascading two reactant pellets in series, where an interface is naturally and artificially introduced. The impacts of both the bulk and interfacial parameters on the SHS process were estimated. The maximal converted length for a single pellet was computed. By varying the interfacial parameters, it was found that more than 10% of extra converted length was obtained by the proposed cascade arrangement. Effects of the bulk parameters on the same purpose were also addressed.
