        "abstract": "A thermal theory of laminar flame propagation\nfor hydrocarbon-oxygen flames is described. The\nmethod of analysis follows the earlier work of von\nKarman and his collaborators.\nIn Section III the problem is formulated and\napproximate solutions are given for hydrocarbon-oxygen\nflames, assuming a second order rate-controlling\nstep. Approximate analytic solutions have been obtained\nfor all mixture ratios.\nHydrocarbon-oxygen-inert gas mixtures are considered\nin Section IV. A second order rate-controlling\nstep is again assumed and solutions are given for\nvarious initial gas compositions.\nAn attempt is made to correlate experimentally\ndetermined burning velocity data in Section V. Reference\nto Section V shows that a good correlation was\nobtained only for lean mixtures. Absolute values for\nthe laminar burning velocity cannot be estimated because\nof the lack of data concerning reaction mechanism\nand specific reaction rate constants.",
