Parkey2, Mehmet Kesmez2 1Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas Tech University, 2Lynntech Inc. A protocol for measuring flame speeds of a reactive mixture composed of tetraiodine nonoxide (I4O9) and aluminum (Al) is presented. A method for resolving reaction kinetics using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is also presented. It was found that I4O9 is 150% more reactive than other iodine(V) oxides.
