Heat transfer from flame in pipe

[stinsonbr]

I am not familiar with non steady-state heat transfer problems, any resources on where I could get started would be a huge help:

There is a pipe filled with a fuel/air mixture. This mixture is ignited at one end of the pipe, so that the flame front propagates through the pipe. How can we determine the heat transfer through a portion of the pipe? Any equations or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

This is usually covered in a heat transfer course. It takes more than a few formulas to give a decent treatment of the subject.

I've taken one course, but we never went over a moving flame front, just general transient heat transfer problems. Does this not add more complexity to the problem?

Undoubtedly it does, due to the transient nature of the flame propagation.
