This note considers an established reaction–diffusion model for a combustion system, in which there are competing endothermic and exothermic reaction pathways. A combustion front is assumed to move at constant speed through the medium. An asymptotic theory is presented for solid fuels in which material diffusion is ignored, and it allows a simple and complete analysis of the approximate system in the phase plane. Both the adiabatic and nonadiabatic cases are discussed.
