Using semi-quantitative arguments based on the principles of stoichiometry and ignition limits the behaviour of a flammable vapour in a microcalorimeter is analysed. As acknowledged at the end of the paper, the author has also used input by an investigator other than himself in preparing a synthesis suitable for publication.
