Summary
Heat generation by the reaction rises almost exponentially with temperature, heat loss only linearly; where generation outruns loss, thermal runaway and ignition follow. Based on Gray (2002), p. 2-212, and Kanury (2002b), p. 2-196.
Original vector illustration for Autoignition temperature, level 2 Intermediate.
- Source basis: Gray (2002), pp. 2-211 to 2-212 (critical condition, reaction rate almost exponential, heat loss linear); Kanury (2002b), p. 2-196 (thermal runaway, heat exchange with vessel walls)
- Alt text: Graph of heat generation and heat loss against temperature; an exponential generation curve touches a straight loss line at the critical temperature.
