✦ Synopsis
Positive and negative ions ofthe type Czn (3062n6210) and C,,,,, H, (x< 2), called polyhedral ions in this Letter, have been found in hydrocarbon flames. They are formed simultaneously with the smallest soot particles at the end of the reaction zone succeeding the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon ions of equal mass.

The calculation of ion currents in hydrocarbon flames was attempted to test a mechanism involving temperature dependence. Values of [CHI and [O] in the flame are available in some cases of premixed methane-oxygen flames, but not for the diffusion flame of H 2 and air containing hydrocarbon. For the
A model has been developed for the composition in diffusion flames. It consists of a flame sheet for the pyrolysis or consumption of fuel on the rich side of sloichiometric. Near stoichiometric the molecular and radical species are assumed to be in partial equilibrium and the burnout of CO is contro
The effect on flame temperature, burning velocity and carbon limit of adding water vapor to a premixed flame has been investigated using a Bunsen-type burner operated at atmospheric pressure and employing propane and ethylene as fuels. The results'indicate that water vapor does not act as an inert d
