Rate of advancement of combustion front (in-situ combustion)
Input(s)
\(E_{O}\): Oxygen Consumption Efficiency (fraction)
\(u_{a}\): Air Flux \(\left(\mathrm{SCF} / \mathrm{d} \mathrm{ft}^{2}\right)\)
\(a_{r}\): Air Requirement \(\left(\mathrm{Mscf} / \mathrm{ft}^{3}\right)\)
Output(s)
\(v_{b}\): Rate of Advancement \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{d})\)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{b}}=\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{O}}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{a}}}{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}}
\]
