ABSTRACT
We have made use of global conservation equations in Chapter 7 for solving the combustion problems in engines and obtained approximate solutions for burn rates of solid and liquid fuels using the resistance concept. Now, we will apply the differential forms of the conservation equations developed in Chapter 8 to solve combustion problems, obtain more exact solutions for combustion of solid fuels, and determine the flame structure around a burning solid surface. The treatment mostly involves the combustion of solid carbon, and the method can be easily extended to the combustion of solid metals.
