Special Cases of Self-Ignition

Hydrogen self-ignition in air or oxygen, when the substances are initially stratified, and turbulent or diffusive mixing is essential, can be defined as a special case of diffusion self-ignition. This phenomenon receives detailed attention in the Chap. 11. 

Analysis of research in hydrogenous mixture self-ignition at high pressure and moderate temperature was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, grant No 09-03-00487.

Self-ignition by temporary glow. A special case of self-ignition temperature where, in some cases, slow decomposition and carbonization of the specimen result only in glow of short duration at various points without general ignition.
