The modelling of the combustion of dust suspensions leads to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem for a system of ordinary differential equations defined over an infinite interval. The equations contain a number of parameters. In this study, the shooting method is used to prove the existence of a solution. Linearisation is then used to provide an approximate solution, from which an estimate of the eigenvalue and its dependence on the given parameters can be obtained.
