IN MODELS OF HEATING AND THERMAL
DESTRUCTION OF THE SURFACE OF A MATERIAL

We found the interrelation between the constants that 
determine the components of heat balance in transition of a material 
from the solid to liquid and gaseous states under the conditions of 
thermal destruction of the material's surface. It is shown that the 
relations between these constants satisfy the "golden proportion." 
An energy diagram of thermal destruction of the material is suggested. 
The amount of heat necessary for establishment of the stationary mode 
of heating and mass entrainment is estimated.
