LAMINAR FLAME THEORY .2.

The laminar flame theory under the condition of minimum entropy produc tion is presented. The equation of the temperature boundary layer is o btained for Le = 0, and its general solution is found. It is shown tha t the mechanism of laminar flame propagation can be treated from the v iewpoint of stationary thermal explosion in a cylindrical vessel of ra dius 2 as the critical regime in which the burnup is taken into accoun t in an unusual form.
