✦ Synopsis

The thermal stability of a reactive viscous liquid in steady flow between parallel heated walls has been examined, it being assumed that the liquid is symmetrically heated and the flow fully developed. An expression for the critical Frank-Kamenetskii parameter, in terms of the first few terms of a power series in a defined viscous heating parameter, has been obtained. Upper and lower bounds on the value of this parameter have also been determined, the latter giving a good simple approximation.
