Abstract
The phenomenological characteristics of cool flames of cyclohexane are studied. It is shown that cyclohexane flames arise at lower temperatures (beginning at T ≈ 230°C) and lower pressures (lower than 10 torr at T = 290°C) than alkane and alkene flames. The temperature dependence of the lower pressure limit of the cool flame is determined. It is established that, depending on the conditions (p, T, and C6H12/O2 ratio), cool-flame ignition is characterized by a rise and drop of the temperature ΔT or by several peaks imposed on each other. The dependence of the cool-flame structure (for ΔT) on the oxygen content in the reaction mixture is studied. It is shown that the cool flame resulting from cyclohexane oxidation is accompanied by ring opening and formation of products with a smaller number of carbon atoms. It is established that cool flames of cyclohexane are characterized by a negative temperature coefficient.
