N2  - Mixtures of ethylene oxide or cyclopropane with oxygen and argon were ignited with reflected shock waves In a shock tube. The temperature dependences of the ignition delay and the growth of light emitted during the induction period to explosion of C2H4O-O2 mixtures indicate that the rate-controlling reaction is that of formaldehyde oxidation. The temperature dependence of induction periods for C3H6-O2 mixtures suggests that a complicated but undetermined mechanism controls the delay to ignition.
