β¦ Synopsis
The quasi-steady combustion of a liquid fuel drop is considered in the limit of infinite activation energy when the ambient mass fraction of oxygen is very small. It is shown that under these nearly asphyxiated conditions ignition and extinction phenomena do not necessarily occur even for an exothermic combustion field.

The equations for the steady state combustion of liquid fuel drops in an oxidizing atmosphere were integrated numerically for various fuel-oxygen systems. The results give a continuous description of the drop behaviour from .the low mass burning rate kinetic controlled region to the high mass burnin
