Abstract
The two most relevant applications of laminar, compressible boundary layer theory are the flat-plate flow and stagnation-point flow. In this paper, an analytical method for studyingchemically reacting flow in laminar premixed flame of carbon monoxide/oxygen mixture in the region of the stagnation point in the presence of work due to compression and heat generateddue to viscous dissipation is presented. The governing non-linear partial dierential equations describing the phenomenon have been transformed by a similarity transformation into a system of ordinary differential equations, which are solved analytically using the iteration-perturbation method together with direct integration.The results obtained show that velocity increases as the Prandtl number increases. Also, Biot number decreases the fluid velocity and enhances the species concentration and flame temperature.
