A detailed mathematical model of the non-isothermal oxidation of acetaldehyde has been found to give a realistic simulation of (i) single and multiple cool flames, their limits, amplitudes and induction periods; (ii) two-stage ignition; and (iii) the negative temperature coefficient for the maximum rate of slow combustion. A simplified form of the model, valid over a limited range of conditions, has been subjected to mathematical analysis to provide interpretations of the effects simulated by the detailed model. It is concluded that cool flames are thermokinetic effects often, but not exclusively, of an oscillatory nature, and that a satisfactory account of cool-flame phenomena must necessarily take reactant consumption into account.

Kinetic and analytical studies of the gaseous oxidation of 3-methylpentane have been carried out both under slow combustion conditions and more especially in the cool-flame region. Analysis of the complex mixtures of in termediate products provides strong evidence for the occurrence of 3-methylpentylperoxy radical isomerization, which leads initially to the formation mainly of the corresponding β- and γ-hydroperoxyalkyl radicals. Detailed comparison of the yields of partial combustion products with those obtained from 3-ethylpentane under similar experimental conditions shows that formation of γ-hydro-peroxyalkyl radicals takes place less readily during the oxidation of 3-methylpentane due to the restricted number of modes of 1:6 hydrogen transfer. In consequence, this branched C 6 alkane gives smaller yields of the corresponding O -heterocycles but larger amounts of β-scission products. During the isomerization of 3-methylpentylperoxy radicals there is evidence for the occurrence of some alkyl group shifts. The results show that there is a somewhat greater tendency for m ethyl groups to migrate than there is for ethyl groups, the difference becoming more marked with increasing temperature.


A detailed analytical study of the cool-flame oxidation of propane has been carried out using a continuous-flow technique with a view to the further elucidation of the mechanism of the low-temperature oxidation of hydrocarbons. The formation of the three theoretically possible aldehydes has been demonstrated and the initially formed peroxide shown to be hydrogen peroxide. Measurements of the yields of the different products formed under varying conditions of temperature, composition and time of contact have been made and correlated with measurements of the luminous intensity and temperature of the flame. The results confirm the earlier conclusions of Norrish (1948) that aldehydes are the important branching agents in the temperature range of 300 to 400°C, and a detailed scheme based on that proposed earlier has been developed to account for the observations. The scheme has further been shown to allow of a simple explanation of the origin of the periodic character of the cool flame in terms of the thermal instability of the normal slow reaction.
