Abstract
This paper first examines the local character of a general flow within which chemical reactions and compressibility effects coexist. Local Mach numbers must not be small in such circumstances, and it is deduced that the “inviscid” Euler equations are adequate to describe all behaviour outside the interior of shock waves (which are therefore treated as discontinuities) when the reactions are of the large-activation energy type.
