3. Thermal runawayThermal runaway refers to a situation where an increase in temperature changes the conditions in a way that causes a further increase in temperature, often leading to a destructive result. It is a kind of uncontrolled positive feedback. In other words, the term "thermal runaway" is used whenever a process is accelerated by increased temperature, in turn releasing energy that further increases temperature.
