Abstract
We derive an asymptotic model for the propagation of a combustion wave thro ugh a mixture of solid reactants in the presence of an inert diluent which melts in the reaction zone. We show how melting affects the steady, adiabat ic, planar flame speed and the structure of the combustion wave. We also in vestigate the effect of melting on the linear stability of the steady, plan ar solution. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
