Burning solids. Moisture, effect on flame propagation; Evaporation and flame propagation. Theory of flame propagation Author'Sv Conclusions Based on this simple physical model, reasonable temperature distributions in the solid are obtained for different evaporation rates Maximum temperature occurs within the combustion region and the temperature decreases exponentially wi th the distance f rom the flame front Through this study, i t is clear that the flame propagation of a burning solid wi th moisture is governed by three parametersâdimensionless propagation speed a, evaporation coefficient /3, and combustion heat y A n exact solution of a can be obtained by the numerical method shown. Approximate solutions of a show that the propagation speed increases wi th the temperature difference in the combustion region and wi th the reciprocal of the dimensionless coordinate of maximum tem- perature, 1/f/ The evaporation process can always slow down the flame propaga- tion speed The flame wi l l completely stop to propagate at ^ = 4 [ ( < ? / - f l . ) / ( » . ! / ) ] " ' E .
