In order to simulate the combustion process, the flame structure is composed of three zones: a preheated vaporization zone, a reaction zone, and finally a postflame zone, respectively. Then the governing equations, required boundary conditions, and matching conditions are applied for each zone in order to solve these differential equations. Consequently, the important parameters of the phenomenon of combustion of organic dust particles in premixed counterflow, such as organic dust mass fraction, flame location, are plotted as a function of strain rate at various particle diameters. %8 2014-10-08
