Burin' Guest Posts: n/a	Can someone explain why the fuel mass reaction rate expressed using the arrhenius law is highly non-linear. I have read that this is because it cannot be easily represented as a funciton of the mean mass fractions and density. I assume this is for RANS? The Arrhenius law looks fairly linear to me. What am I missing? What is the case in LES? Thank you.
