Abstract
A model for sphericosymmetric thin-flame combustion of multicomponent fuel droplets has been developed in the first part of this two-part work. The mo del incorporates effects of droplet surface regression and gas-phase Lewis number. It is observed that both these effects affect the results substanti ally. The study also reveals the transient nature of the combustion process . Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley and Sons, Ltd.
