An analytical approach to the study of thermal explosion characteristics was examined and observation showed that an external heat source brought about by Semenov parameter and radiation delayed the initiation of thermal explosions while Frank-Kamenestkii parameter and heat due to chemical reaction enhanced the initiation of thermal explosions. The work also revealed that internal friction reduces ignition time and increases reaction rates.
