## Abstract Compressed mixtures of iron and barium peroxide or iron and potassium dichromate are examples of systems capable of undergoing selfโpropagating incandescent reaction when ignited. It has been found that in both of these systems a nonโincandescent reaction, called the preโignition reacti

Abstract
Measurements have been made of the linear rate of the selfโpropagating reaction and of the heat of this reaction in compressed binary solid mixtures of an oxidizing and a reducing agent. The thermochemical results have been used to draw conclusions about the chemistry of the reactions involved and about the maximum temperatures reached during burning. The dependence of the rate of reaction on the heat it evolves is discussed, and an explanation given of the fact that the rate usually reaches its maximum at a higher (and never at a lower) percentage of reducing agent than that at which the heat of burning has its greatest value.
