The present study attempts at an understanding of the reactive processes within a flame. A chemical thermodynamics approach is employed in juxtaposition to the classical analysis which are purely chemical kinetic. These are justified because this phenomenum is considered to take place far from equilibrium conditions and not subject to thermodynamic analysis. This fact will be questioned in this study. A one-dimensional, ideal and steady flow flame was considered. The reactive process of an adiabatic flame was, by experimental evidence, considered to possess two degrees of freedom, i.e it would be completely determined by defining the reactants’ pressure and temperature, whose species and quantities were a priori known. Duhem’s theorem2 tells us that if equilibrium is estabilished, it would be fully determined. An adiabatic and reversible two-sliced flame (the effective medium) was determined by equating the chemical exergy of the flame to the physical exergy of the two slices relative to the ignition point. Also, the constrained extremum of the difference between the chemical and physical exergies allowed the relative maximum of an internally irreversible adiabatic flame to be determined. For the irreversible flame, close simulation of the autoignition temperature for 4 of 6 fuels was obtained. Finally, the conclusion that a continuous flame is not the limit of an irreversible flame with infinite slices is demonstrated. Whilst that flame is the flame with maximum irreversibility, this flame has a relative maximum of internal irreversibility. 2for any closed system initially formed by chemical species with specified quantity, the state of equilibrium is fully determined once two independent properties are fixed.
