Theoretical Analysis (Contd.)

By thin flame approximation,

 

Single step irreversible reaction,

Universal concentration variables,

Rate of fuel transport from the centre to the flame surface is equal to stoichiometric rate of oxidizer transport.

Let be the mass fraction of the reactant,
Instead of solving two equations (For fuel and oxidizer), we can solve a single equation as given below,

This analysis is known as the Burke-Schumann's analysis
