Popis: Chain branching reactions and the criteria for explosion are presented. The explosion limits and oxidative characteristics of hydrogen and carbon monoxide are described first, as they are both simple fuels and intermediates formed during hydrocarbon oxidation. A brief review of organic nomenclature is presented prior to describing explosion limits and the general characteristics of low- and high-temperature oxidation of hydrocarbons. The high-temperature oxidation mechanisms of aldehydes, methane, aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, biofuels, and aromatic hydrocarbons are discussed. Finally, a brief analysis of supercritical effects on hydrocarbon oxidation is presented.
