Abstract
This short report concerns the modeling of diffusion flame for predicting its practical properties, such as centerline velocity, excess temperature or air entrainment to the flaming region. These properties have been conventionally estimated using the Steward's model, but recent experimental works on flame behavior do not support some of the assumptions employed in the derivation of this model.
