Ignition and Extinction of a Monopropellant Droplet in an Inert Atmosphere.

Abstract

Response curves of vaporization rate versus Damkohler number are examined in the limit of large activation energy, so as to determine their weak-and strong-decomposition branches. A recipe is given for locating the ignition point at the end of the former, when there is one; and an explicit formula is derived for the extinction or ignition/extinction point at the end of the latter, when there is one.
