  3. Exothermic reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_reaction

    An energy profile of an exothermic reaction. In an exothermic reaction, by definition, the enthalpy change has a negative value: ΔH = H products - H reactants < 0. where a larger value (the higher energy of the reactants) is subtracted from a smaller value (the lower energy of the products). For example, when hydrogen burns: 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g ...

  4. Exothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_process

    An exothermic thermite reaction using iron(III) oxide. The sparks flying outwards are globules of molten iron trailing smoke in their wake. Some examples of exothermic processes are: [14] Combustion of fuels such as wood, coal and oil/petroleum; The thermite reaction [15] The reaction of alkali metals and other highly electropositive metals ...

  5. Nitromethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitromethane

    This exothermic reaction produces the four industrially significant nitroalkanes: nitromethane, nitroethane, 1-nitropropane, and 2-nitropropane. The reaction involves free radicals, including the alkoxyl radicals of the type CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 O, which arise via homolysis of the corresponding nitrite ester. These alkoxy radicals are susceptible to ...

  6. Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-propagating_high...

    Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) is a method for producing both inorganic and organic compounds by exothermic combustion reactions in solids of different nature. [1] Reactions can occur between a solid reactant coupled with either a gas, liquid, or other solid.

  7. Monopropellant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopropellant

    The most common use of monopropellants [3] is in low-impulse monopropellant rocket motors, [4] such as reaction control thrusters, the usual propellant being hydrazine [5] [6] which is generally decomposed by exposure to an iridium [7] [8] catalyst bed (the hydrazine is pre-heated to keep the reactant liquid).

  8. Bulk polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_polymerization

    The problem of heat transfer is compounded by the highly exothermic nature of free radical addition polymerization. The polymerization is obtained with a broad molecular weight distribution due to the high viscosity and lack of good heat transfer. very high molecular weights are obtained. Gel effect.

  9. Thermal runaway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_runaway

    Chemical reactions involving thermal runaway are also called thermal explosions in chemical engineering, or runaway reactions in organic chemistry.It is a process by which an exothermic reaction goes out of control: the reaction rate increases due to an increase in temperature, causing a further increase in temperature and hence a further rapid increase in the reaction rate.
