Abstract

We derive new expressions to estimate the burning velocity of a laminar gas flame in a simplified combustion model based on a one-step single reaction with transport coefficients (mass and heat) depending on temperature, and species with different specific heats. These new expressions generalize the bounds and approximations previously derived by Williams, von Karman, Zeldovich and Frank–Kamenetskii, Benguria and Depassier, and the matching asymptotic expansion method in a two zone model. The comparison of the flame speed predicted by these new analytical expressions with that numerically simulated by the full combustion model for a large variety of cases allows us to determine their range of validity. The upper bound based on the Benguria and Depassier method provides very good approximations for the actual propagation speed of combustion flames, being substantially better than the asymptotic method used in the recent papers.
