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)

$$ \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{b}}=\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{O}}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{u}_{\mathrm{a}}}{\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{r}}} $$
