- Abstract
In this paper we investigate the properties of the travelling combustion wave solutions in a diffusion-thermal model with a two-step competitive exo-endothermic reaction mechanism in one spatial dimension under adiabatic conditions. The model is analysed both numerically and analytically using asymptotic analysis. It is demonstrated that depending on the parameter values, the flame speed as a function of parameters is either a single-valued monotonic function or a double-valued c-shaped function with the turning point type of behaviour. For the case of single-valued flame speed, two flame regimes are identified: the regime with exo- and endothermic reaction domination. Two different routes to extinction are found as well as regions of the existence of combustion waves in the parameter space. Prospects of further work are also discussed.
