Diethyl Ether Autoignition Temperature

In this work pure diethyl ether and a 50 50 m binary blend of diethyl ether and ethanol dee etoh were investigated in a shock tube and a rapid compression machine.

Diethyl ether autoignition temperature. The diffusion of diethyl ether in air is 0 918 10 5 m 2 s 298k 101 325 kpa. The diffusion of diethyl ether in air is 9 18 10 6 m 2 s 298 k 101 325 kpa. A common practice in chemical labs is to use steam thus limiting the temperature to 100 c 212 f when ether must be heated or distilled.

The autoignition temperature of diethyl ether is 160 c 320 f. Ignition delay times were measured over the temperature range of 550 1000 k pressures of 20 40 bar and equivalence ratios of 0 5 1.
