Autoignition

Autoignition is a chemical kinetics-driven combustion initiation process in which a fuel-oxidizer mixture spontaneously ignites without an external ignition source due to thermal and chemical feedback leading to explosive reaction acceleration under elevated temperature and pressure conditions.
