Low temperature combustion of methane/alkenes mixtures

The use of methane is commonly adopted as thermal diluent and chemical inhibitor in the partial oxidation of alkenes, in order to avoid the occurrence of unwanted reactions and full oxidation. Moreover, methane-alkene mixtures are commonly present in several industrial applications such as petrochemical processes. In this work, experimental data for pure ethylene and propylene flames in presence of air were collected, as first. Then the effect...
