An experimental and theoretical examination of the mass burning and evaporation-rate structure of a bed of fine solid-fuel elements is made for several cases of quasi-steady firespread waves propagating along and into the surface of the bed. Several distinct regimes are found to characterize the vaporization and degradation history of the fuel array. The extent of penetration of the propagating-flame phenomenon into the fuel array is found related to various thermophysical constants as well as the vaporization kinetic parameters which characterize the array and its elements.
