Formation combustion

Tables of standard entlialpies of formation, combustion and reaction are available in the literature for a wide variety of compounds. It is important to note that these are valueless imlcss tlie stoicliiomctric equation and tlie standard state of reactants and products are included.

Table 8 lists some military and commercial explosives in diminishing order of their detonation velocities, together with other properties, such as heats of formation, combustion and detonation (or explosion), as well as explosion (or ignition) temperature and temperature of detonation (or explosion). Comparing these properties with icorresponding detonation velocity values shows that there is no relationship similar to that shown in Table II, p B298 of Vol 2 of Encycl between detonation velocity and brisance...

Aromatic hydrocarbons which have methyl side chains mainly behave like toluene and form aldehydes, while combustion is stimulated and selective oxidation of the nucleus is repressed. The oxidation of methyl-naphthalene, for example, exhibits a low selectivity with respect to phtha-lic anhydride formation, combustion and maleic acid formation being the dominating reactions. Durene is a special case because it resembles o-xy-lene. The oxidation of durene over a V—W—O catalyst at 420° C is reported to produce pyromellitic dianhydride, phthalic and maleic anhydride, although combustion dominates (Geiman et al. [122]). 1,2,4-Trimethyl-benzene yields dimethylbenzene and trimellitic acid if oxidized on a Sn— V—O catalyst. Kinetic data have been measured by Balsubramanian and Viswanath [37].

A World Wide Web site [239] has been set up to provide software for the investigation and reduction of combustion mechanisms. The programs available include MECHMOD, a code for the automatic modification of CHEMKIN format combustion mechanisms, and KINALC, which is an almost automatic program for the investigation and reduction of gas-phase reaction mechanisms. KINALC is a postprocessor to CHEMKIN-based simulation packages SENKIN, PREMIX, OPPDIF, RUNIDL, PSR, SHOCK and EQLIB. 

Tables of enthalpies of formation, combustion, and reaction are available in the literature (particularly thermodynamics texts/reference books) for a wide variety of compounds. It is important to note that these are valueless unless the stoichiometric equation and the states of the reactants and products are included. However, enthalpy of reaction is not always employed in engineering reaction/combustion calculations. The two other terms that have been used are the gross (or higher) heating value and the net (or lower) heating value. These are discussed in the next problem.

Q Can define the standard enthalpies of formation, combustion and neutralisation.

For any reaction or change in conformation we define a heat of reaction (designated AH,xn°/ but normally just written as AH°). This value reflects the difference in heat between two compositions of a solution. We will look at several heats of reaction in this book (such as heats of formation, combustion, hydrogenation, etc.).
