Rate-Ratio Asymptotic Analysis of Strained Premixed Laminar Methane Flame Under Nonadiabatic Conditions
Motivated by the pioneering activation-energy asymptotic analysis of strained laminar premixed flames in counterflow by Libby and his coworkers, a rate-ratio asymptotic analysis is carried out to elucidate the structure and predict the critical conditions of extinction of strained premixed methane flames. Steady, axisymmetric, laminar flow of two counterflowing streams: a reactive mixture stream a
