Influence of the amine structure on the combustion and explosion of vapor–air mixtures

Abstract

The enthalpy of formation and combustion is calculated for 15 aliphatic amines by various methods. These characteristics depend on the number of carbon atoms and the number of amino groups in the amine molecule. The combustion parameters are calculated when P = 1 atm and V = const, for mixtures of aliphatic amines with air. The adiabatic combustion temperature of mixtures of limiting composition is practically independent of the amine structure. The calculated values of the maximum pressure exceed 1000 kPa.
