ON FLAME PROPAGATION IN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES OF GASES: II. ON THE DECOMPOSITION FLAME OF OZONE

Abstract

The general theory developed in an earlier paper of the author is applied to the ozone explosion. Values of the linear flame velocity are computed under the assumption of constant enthalpy and, without this assumption, for different values of the reduced diffusion coefficient. The results do not differ very much and are found to be in very good agreement with experiments. They are further compared to the results which were obtained by Hirschfelder et al. by exact numerical integration and by Kármán and Penner by an approximation method and are found to be between the values obtained by these authors.
