Question: For a propane / air adiabatic laminar premixed flame with single - step global kinetics, calculate the laminar flame speed SL and flame thickness d

For a propane/air adiabatic laminar premixed flame with single-step global kinetics, calculate the laminar flame speed SL and flame thickness d for an equivalence ratio \phi =0.7. Assume a pressure of 1 atm, an unburned gas temperature of 300 K, a mean molecular weight of 29 g/mol, an average specific heat of 1.2 kJ/kg-K, an average thermal conductivity of 0.09 W/m-K, and a heat of combustion of 46 MJ/kg. The kinetics parameters you will need for propane (C3H8) are a =0.1, b =1.65, Tig =743 K,
E =125.6 kJ/mol, and A =8.6 x 1011 cm2.25/(s-mole0.75). When calculating the reaction rate, be sure to evaluate the molar concentrations in units of moles/cm3.
