The temporal evolution of a system in combustion theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 February 2009
Abstract
A model governing the combustion of a material is considered. The model consists of two non-linear coupled parabolic equations with initial and boundary conditions. An approximation for the rate of reactant consumption is made to enable the system to the treated by laplace transform. Three simple geometries are considered; namely, an infinite slab, an infinite circular and a sphere. The results obtained are then compared with numerical solutions for spme specific values of the parameters. There is good agreement over time duration for which numerical work was performed.
