Theory of combustion of thin film structures

The problem of combustion of thin film compositions is considered in view of the finite reaction rate at the interfaces. Formulas defining the combustion rate in the diffusion mode and the mode limited by the boundary kinetics are obtained. On the basis of these formulas, techniques for estimating the parameters of the diffusion and boundary kinetics are proposed. Unsteady combustion modes are studied, and features of the transition from the kinetic to the diffusion mode are revealed.
