In the present work the ignition and quench phenomena of the combustion of a carbon surface in oxidizing cross flow is investigated theoretically. For certain values of moisture content and of heterogeneous reaction rates, multiple ignition and quench phenomena are observed together with non‐monotonous dependence of the burning rate upon the surface temperature. These phenomena occur in the region of transition from the reaction controlled to the transport controlled regime. In dependence upon reaction rates this regime extends from 1300 K to about 2000 K.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
