Abstract
In this paper we combined the homotopy analysis method (HAM) and the method of integral manifold (MIM) to investigate the problem of thermal explosion in two-phases polydisperse combustible mixtures of gas with fuel droplets. The size distribution of the fuel droplets is assumed to be continuous in the form of an exponential distribution and is found from the solution of the kinetic equation for the probability density function. The system of the polydisperse fuel spray takes into account the effects of the thermal radiation and convection. By applying the HAM and the MIM, we derived an analytical solution of the system and we compared our results with the numerical solutions.
