Abstract

We study the existence of planar flames, in the case of a single-step chemical reaction with volumetric heat losses, with a general reaction term. We prove that for all positive Lewis numbers, and for small values of the heat loss rate parameter, two distinct solutions exist. We also give upper bounds for the flame speed and for the heat loss rate parameter. Moreover, we explicitly compute a lower bound for the unburned gases after reaction.
