ouracacelre The Lewis number for a given species is
Denoting the heat diffusivity coefficient the Lewis number can be expressed as
which is the ratio of the heat diffusion speed to the diffusion speed of species .
In many combustion models, all species are assumed to diffuse at the same speed and therefore
