TL;DR: In this article, a summary of the available limit of flammability, autoignition, and burning rate data for more than 200 combustible gases and vapors in air and other oxidants, as well as empirical rules and graphs that can be used to predict similar data for thousands of other combustibles under a variety of environmental conditions are given.
Abstract: : A summary is given of the available limit of flammability, autoignition, and burning-rate data for more than 200 combustible gases and vapors in air and other oxidants, as well as of empirical rules and graphs that can be used to predict similar data for thousands of other combustibles under a variety of environmental conditions. Specific data are presented on the paraffinic, unsatuarted, aromatic, and alicyclic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, and sulfur compounds, and an assortment of fuels, fuel blends, hydraulic fluids, engine oils, and miscellaneous combustible gases and vapors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic study has been carried out of the autoignition of a number of hydrocarbon fuels under engine-like conditions in a rapid compression machine, and the results confirm that there is a strong correlation between the performance of these fuels in engines and their auto-ignition properties measured in a Rapid Compression Machine (RCM).

TL;DR: In this article, the initiation of turbulent non-premixed combustion of gaseous fuels through autoignition and through spark ignition is reviewed, motivated by the increasing relevance of these phenomena for new combustion technologies.

TL;DR: In this paper, a successful correlation is demonstrated which is based upon the gross parameters of a "hypothetical chemical reaction" for self-ignition of heated and compressed fuel-air mixtures.
Abstract: The self-ignition of heated and compressed fuelair mixtures has been the object of much study, particularly in recent years. As a consequence of this wide-spread interest, data have become available from a variety of different kinds of apparatus. It is the purpose of this article to examine some of the possible relationships between these several kinds of results. A successful correlation is demonstrated which is based upon the gross parameters of a hypothetical chemical reaction.
