Sensitivity Analysis for Premixed, Laminar, Steady-State Flames

Abstract

A procedure has been developed to perform a sensitivity analysis on the transport and rate input parameters for a premixed, laminar, one- dimensional, steady-state flame. Computer codes exist to perform the sensitivity analysis automatically. The analysis can be done in terms of Taylor expansions or Logarithmic expansions. Both first and second order coefficients may be computed. AS a test case, the analysis has been carried out for a set of H2/O2/ N2/flames. The relative accuracy and the range of validity of the various expansions is discussed.
