Abstract
The flame equations for the steady‐state combustion of a liquid droplet are adapted to the case of a bipropellant system. The material transfer of two reactants, fuel and oxidizer, which interdiffuse from opposite directions is considered. As a result, a diffusion flame is established at some distance from the liquid surface. The theoretical analysis is applied to the combustion of an ethanol droplet in oxygen and air, and the effects of various chemical and physical parameters on the burning process are examined.
