Summary

Theoretical reaction rate considerations normally require homogeneity of the mixture supply. An attempt—necessarily crude by reason of the analytical difficulties—is made here to cater for the case of non-uniform fuel distribution. Assuming a point-source injector in a parallel pipe, the “loss” in reaction rate is calculated for a limited number of specimen cases.
