Enthelpy of combustion of acetylene and fluorine

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene when reacted with pure fluorine under stoichiometric conditions. The original poster seeks data on this specific reaction, noting that while information on combustion with oxygen is available, fluorine's role remains unclear. They reference the use of bond enthalpies and Hess's law for estimations and mention a combustion database, specifically the NASA polynomials, as a valuable resource for detailed measurements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of enthalpy and combustion reactions
  • Familiarity with bond enthalpies and Hess's law
  • Knowledge of stoichiometric calculations
  • Access to combustion databases, specifically the NASA polynomials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene with fluorine
  • Explore bond enthalpy calculations and their applications in combustion
  • Investigate the NASA polynomials database for combustion data
  • Study the principles of stoichiometry in chemical reactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemists, chemical engineers, and researchers interested in combustion reactions and thermodynamics, particularly those focusing on acetylene and fluorine interactions.

Trying to find data on the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene and fluorine.
Hi Folks,

I have been trying to find data on the enthalpy of combustion of acetylene and fluorine.

I have found the data for oxygen but am curious about the use of pure fluorine in stochiometric conditions and the resulting upper heating value when the oxidant is acetylene.

I am happy to provide the reasons for my inquiry upon request.

Note that I seem to have found some relevant papers on the subject but they can be pretty expensive to download even when renting them for a few days.

Anyone's help in this regard would be most appreciated.

Thanks for your consideration.
