Hydrogen/Air Flame—Temperature vs. Axial Distance<br />

Hydrogen/Air Flame—Mole Fractions<br />

Figure 2-25 shows the normalized sensitivity coefficients as a function of distance for<br />

the five reactions with the largest temperature sensitivities. Reaction #1,<br />

H+O 2 +M=HO 2 + M, has both the most positive and most negative values.<br />

Increasing the rate of this reaction would increase the temperature on the fuel side,<br />

and decrease it at the oxidizer side of the flame. Figure 2-26 shows the sensitivity<br />

coefficients as a function of distance for the five species with the largest temperature<br />

sensitivities for heats of formation. The temperature is most sensitive to the heat of<br />

formation of H 2 O, which makes sense as this is the primary product species.<br />
