โฆ Synopsis
Spherical s'eady laminar flame propagation is considered. Analytical solutions have been obtained for the ease, of (a) Step-function reaction-rate curves, and (b) Adams-type reaction.rate curves. It i.~, shown that the effective radius of a spherical flame is under-estimated if one uses the thin-flame appro~eimation. The error decreo, ses as the rate of injection and the laminar flame speed of the mixture increase. Graphical comparison has been made with numerical and a~,alogve aolutious. Curves are presented which can be used urith fair accuracy with any realistic reaction-rate function.
