Abstract

Features of spatial development of thermal ignition (self-ignition) in chain oxidation of hydrogen and certain hydrocarbons have been revealed by means of high-speed cinematography. It is shown that the features of thermal ignition depend on the state of reactor surface, namely the primary ignition center originates on the surface, then the flame front of the center propagates into volume corresponding to the reactor walls temperature and gas mixture composition. It is shown that introduction of platinum wire into the reactor eliminates the phenomenon of a negative temperature coefficient in hydrocarbons combustion.
