In this article the steady-state process leading to ignition of a combustible mixture of hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen by a hot flat plate in a boundary layer flow is studied, including the effect of thermal diffusion. For sufficiently large values of the plate temperature, the ignition event corre
