Extinction, ignition

  • What two quantities are balanced at the point of flame extinction or ignition?
  • What is the extinction hole (or channel) width proportional to in terms of premixed flame quantities?
  • What was the $b$ parameter used for in the analysis?
  • For flame extinction, we consided round holes, or slot channels. What geometry is typically assumed for ignition?
    • What other shape might make sense when considering spark ignition?
  • How would you compute $\alpha$ when evaluating a critical radius?
