Abstract
The ignition of a combustible gas is studied by obtaining an approximate solution to the coupled equations of unsteady fluid flow, mass and heat diffusion, and chemical kinetics. At various stages, the theory is contrasted with the ``excess enthalpy hypothesis.'' It is shown that the empirically established minimum ignition energy can be deduced from the well-established laws, without invoking the ad hoc ``excess enthalpy hypothesis.''
