A model describing the ignition of hydrogen-oxygen-diluent mixtures in the vicinity of a hot surface has been developed. The model assumes that ignition occurs as a result of runaway chemical reactions occurring in the gas, owing to heat transfer from the hot surface to the cold gas. Numerical solutions of the differential equations describing the conservation of species and energy produce results that agree well with the experimentally measured minimum surface temperature required for ignition.
