¼ laminar flame speed (m/s).
It can be seen from Eqn (15.11) that the effect of pressure on flame speed is very small, as sug-
gested above. Figure 15.7 shows how the laminar flame speed increases with reactants temperat ure: it
has been assumed that the adiabatic temperature rise remains constant at 2000 K, which is approxi-
mately correct for a stoichiometric mixture. It can be seen that the speed increases rapidly, and reaches
a value of around 4 m/s when the reactants temperature is 1000 K. This is an increase of about a factor
of 8 on the previous value which would reduce the combustion duration to about ...
