Singular Perturbation Approach to Flame Theory with Chain and Competing Reactions

摘要

We investigate the structure of laminar flames with two chemical reactions in the limit of high activation energy asymptotics. Depending on the specific reaction network and the other given chemical data, a wide variety of flame configurations are possible. Here we fully explore these possibilities in the case of sequential and competing reaction pairs. Our methods are general enough to extend to most reaction networks with two or three exothermic reactions with high activation energy. (ERA citation 08:005794)
