In describing frontal processes of thermal decomposition of high-energy condensed substances, for example detonation, it is common practice to write the equation for the conservation of energy without any limitations on the heat propagation velocity (HPV). At the same time, it is known that in calculating fast processes of heat conduction, the assumption of an infinitely high HPV is not always justified. In order to evaluate the influence of the HPV on the results from calculations of heat conduction process under conditions of a short-term exothermic decomposition of a condensed substance, the solution of the problem of heating a semiinfinite, thermally unstable solid body with boundary conditions of the third kind on the surface has been examined.
