This article presents a fourth-order finite-volume algorithm in space and time for low Mach number reacting flow with detailed kinetics and transport. Our temporal integration scheme is based on a Multi-Implicit Spectral Deferred Correction (MISDC) strategy that iteratively couples advection, diffusion, and reactions evolving subject to a constraint. Our new approach overcomes a stability limitation of our previous second-order method encountered when trying to incorporate higher-order polynomial representations of the solution in time to increase accuracy. We have developed a new iterative scheme that naturally fits within our MISDC framework and allows us to conserve mass and energy while simultaneously satisfying the equation of state. We analyse the conditions for which the iterative schemes are guaranteed to converge to the fixed point solution. Finally, we present numerical examples illustrating the performance of the new method on premixed hydrogen, methane, and dimethyl ether flames.
