pippo Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) How can you have 2 hydrocarbons, one propane, other is isobutane, both have a autoignition temp of < 1000 deg F, and when combined, the AI temp becomes higher- about 1600 deg F? There has to be an additive, right? Any way to predict AI temps? Any physical chemists/engineers here? Thanks!

Just had a thought- maybe in the Handbook of Physics and Engineering? Time to find this in there.........I will report back if I have any luck.
