The Asymptotic Structure of Counterflow Diffusion Flames for Large Activation Energies.

Abstract

The structure of steady state diffusion flames is investigated by analyzing the mixing and chemical reaction of two opposed jets of fuel and oxidizer as a particular example. An Arrhenius one-step irreversible reaction has been considered in the realistic limit of large activation energies. The entire range of Damkohler numbers, or ratio of characteristic diffusion and chemical times, has been covered. Analytical expressions are obtained, in particular, for the ignition and extinction conditions. (Modified author abstract)
