Remarks on a thermal nonequilibrium boundary layer
Abstract
It is noted that Keiper (1980) determined while calculating the combustion of methane that the combustion inside the boundary layer progresses more rapidly than outside the boundary layer. Temperature and concentrations display transient extrema inside the boundary layer. An infinite gas mass is considered and it is shown analytically that extrema in the concentration may occur in a thermal nonequilibrium boundary layer as a consequence of diffusion and relaxation interaction.
