The Theory of Flammability Limits: Radiative Losses and Selective Diffusional Demixing

摘要

The concept of limit burning velocities is being used to formulate a quantitative theory of flammability limits. Competing and complicating theory of flammability limits. Competing and complicating processes dissipate power from a combustion wave and quench propagation at some characteristically low limit velocity. Two earlier reports dealt with process (a) natural convection (RI 8127); and with process (b) conductive-convective wall losses (RI 8469). This report considers process (c) radiative losses, and process (d) selective diffusional demixing.
