- Abstract
- This report documents a Fortran computer program that computes species and temperature profiles in steady-state burner-stabilized and freely propagating premixed laminar flames. The program accounts for finite rate chemical kinetics and molecular transport. After stating the appropriate governing equations and boundary conditions, we discuss the finite difference discretization and the Newton method for solving the boundary value problem. Global convergence of this algorithm is aided by invoking time integration procedures when the Newton method has convergence difficulties. The program runs in conjunction with reprocessors for the chemical reaction mechanism and the transport properties. Disscussion of two example problems illustrates many of the program's capabilities.
