A model for sphericosymmetric thin‐flame combustion of multicomponent fuel droplets has been developed in the first part of this two‐part work. The model incorporates effects of droplet surface regression and gas‐phase Lewis number. It is observed that both these effects affect the results substantially. The study also reveals the transient nature of the combustion process. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley and Sons, Ltd.
