A Mathematical Approach to the Property of One-dimensional Steady Solution of Reverse Smolder Waves

The mathematical property of one-dimensional steady solution for reverse smolder waves in the context of a model that permits both fuel-rich and fuel-lean has been studied using the method of analysis. Based on the equations and the boundary conditions some asymptotic properties of the solution at infinity are proved. It is shown that the value of oxygen or the mass of fuel (corresponding to the fuel-rich case and the fuel-lean case, respectively) tends to zero, and the temperature approaches to a fixed value. This is confirmed by other authors using large activation energy asymptotic methods.
