Based on a two-phase two-velocity model of a reacting gas-dispersed medium, a mathematical model of combustion of a boron powder gas suspension has been formulated. The results of numerical solution of the problem are presented. The influence of the composition of the gas suspension, its size, size distribution of particles, mass concentration of particles, as well as of the presence of aluminum powder in the suspension on the visible and normal velocities of flame propagation in the gas suspension, is shown. A comparison of the results of calculation with the well-known experimental and theoretical data is carried out. Satisfactory agreement of the predicted results with experimental data is shown.
