Effect of additives on aldehyde cool flames

A similar sharp transition has been noted [43] when formaldehyde is the additive. Furthermore, there is an accompanying shift of the cool flame limits to higher pressures and/or temperatures. Formaldehyde also interferes with the cool flame combustion of acetaldehyde in flow systems [7]. Its addition retards the development of the cool flame but promotes the second stage this promotion may be caused by the occurrence of
