SPONTANEOUS IGNITION OF HYDROGEN JETS

Title: AN ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS OF SPONTANEOUS IGNITION OF HYDROGEN JETS

Analytical work is presented for the spontaneous ignition of a hydrogen jet emanating from a slot into air. A similarity solution of the flowfield was obtained. This was combined with the species and energy conservation equations, which were solved using activation energy asymptotics…
