A model with a moving flame front is proposed for the combustion of a carbon particle, taking into account the effect of CO oxidizing in the boundary layer around the particle. Using this model, the continuous transition of the effective combustion product from CO{sub 2} under the ignition condition to CO under the condition of diffusion control has been successfully realized. Good agreement was obtained with the experimental measurements of Young and Niksa; such agreement could not be obtained using the customary single-film model.
