Therefore, α 1 is <strong>de</strong>termined by the velocity v 1 of the inci<strong>de</strong>nt flow relative to the<br />

front and by the burning velocity ϕ of the mixture. This velocity <strong>de</strong>pends only on the<br />

composition, pressure and <strong>de</strong>nsity or temperature, and must be consi<strong>de</strong>red as a datum,<br />

<strong>de</strong>termined either theoretically or experimentally (see chapter 6).<br />

In or<strong>de</strong>r to simplify calculations, it is assumed in the following that the thermal<br />

enthalpy can be expressed as indicated in (9.7). Let<br />

q = h f1 − h f2 (9.12)<br />

be the difference between the formation enthalpies of the unburnt and burnt gases. By<br />

substituting equations (9.7) and (9.12) into (9.4), this equation can be written<br />

1<br />

2 v2 1 + c p1 T 1 + q = 1 2 v2 2 + c p2 T 2 . (9.13)<br />

Let T s1 and T s2 be the stagnation temperatures of the unburnt and burnt gases<br />

respectively. By virtue of equation (9.13) they are related by<br />

c p1 T s1 + q = c p2 T s2 , (9.14)<br />

and their ratio n is given by<br />

For the particular case c p1 = c p2 , we have<br />
