The asymptotic structure of counterflow diffusion flames for large activation energies

TL;DR: In this paper, 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, and an Arrhenius one-step irreversible reaction in the realistic limit of large activation energies.

Intrinsic Flame Instabilities in Premixed and Nonpremixed Combustion

TL;DR: In this article, the role of differential and preferential diffusion, thermal expansion, and heat losses in intrinsic combustion instabilities in both premixed and non-premixed systems is discussed.

On stability criteria of chemical reaction engineering

TL;DR: In this paper, the analogy between the stirred tank reactor and the catalyst particle is used to introduce some of the recent techniques of stability analysis in as simple a way as possible, and the relationship between various classes of criteria for uniqueness and stability is developed and interpretations of the less obvious criteria are given.

A general asymptotic theory of diffusion flames with application to cellular instability

TL;DR: In this paper, a general asymptotic formulation for diffusion flames of large-activation-energy chemical reactions is presented, where the reaction is confined to a thin zone which, when viewed from a much larger diffusion scale, is a moving two-dimensional sheet.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusional-thermal instability of diffusion flames

TL;DR: In this paper, the model of a one-dimensional convective diffusion flame in the diffusion-flame regime of activation energy asymptotics is analyzed by studying the diffusional-thermal instability which gives rise to striped quenching patterns that have been observed for diffusion flames.

Ignition and extinction in combustion of initially unmixed reactants

TL;DR: In this paper, the adequacy of direct one-step chemical kinetics for describing ignition and extinction in initially unmixed gases is studied through the particular case of inviscid axisymmetric stagnation-point flow.

A theoretical study of the effects of chemical kinetics on a one-dimensional diffusion flame

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of chemical kinetics on a one-dimensional diffusion flame were considered and a mathematical treatment which took the fuel fraction as the independent variable was presented and numerical solutions were obtained for a particular idealized hydrocarbon-air diffusion flame.
