BURNING VELOCITIES OF THE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE DECOMPOSITION FLAME

Abstract

Burning velocities of the hydrogen peroxide decomposition flame have been measured,d by the bunsen burner method at pressure. between 0.5 and 1 atmosphere. The flame reaction follows approximately first order kinetics with an activation energy of 35 kcal/mole, and shows general agreement with the mechanism and kinetics of the homogenous non-flame reaction. A single plot of the logarithm of the product of the square of the burning velocity and the pressure versus the reciprocal flame temperature correlated the data obtained here at all pressures and also burning velocities above liquid solutions of H2O2. This covers a 200-fold range of burning velocity. The burning velocity was also corelated with quenching distance and some approximate blow off and flash back limits are also given.
