− | + | [[Volatiles]] or 'H2' is a combustible gas in the presence of Oxygen and the breathing gas of the [[Zrilian]] species. The main source of Volatiles on most planets is in the form of [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be mined on the surface. [[Volatiles]] will autoignite at 300 Celcius or above in the presence of [[Oxygen]], and autoignite at 50 Celcius or above in the presence of [[Nitrous Oxide]]. | |

− | + | == Composition == | |
+ | Denoted with the name [[Volatiles|''Volatile'']], it is a homogenous compound made up of Hydrogen, Chlorine and Hydrocarbons. This means that it is poisonous due to the Chlorine, but also combustible due to the Hydrogen and Methane portions and can be turned into [[Water]] with [[Oxygen]] in a [[Kit (Atmospherics) H2 Combustor|H2 Combustor]] that has a self-contained catalyst which helps free the Hydrogen atoms. | ||

− | + | <!--[[Volatiles]] is a combustible gas, likely chloromethane or other chloride based organic compound, that can be used in combination with [[Oxygen]] as a [[Fuel]]. The main source of Volatiles on most planets is in the form of [[Ice (Volatiles)]] that can be mined on the surface. It is the breathing gas of the Zrillian species. Although the game commonly labels Volatiles as H2, a hydrogen pair molecule, the saved files list X gas as chlorine, meaning to produce carbon dioxide and chlorine, and water, as a byproducts, the compound must contain all three elements.--> | |
− | + | == In-Game Description == | |
− | + | Volatiles are an extremely reactive, complex organic molecule, which can be used in conjunction with Oxygen as a combustible fuel. It is refined from Ice (Volatiles). | |
+ | |||
+ | Due to obscure and largely forgotten ODA regulations, volatiles are sometimes labelled 'H2' by various items of technology. however, though they are similar to Hydrogen, they're not 'actually' Hydrogen. Volatiles will not produce water when produced without a catalyst (See the H2 Combustor). Alone, they create pollutants and Carbon Dioxide when burned in the following ratio: | ||

Different ratios of Volatiles and Oxygen will produce different temperatures and pressures during combustion. Combustion will create a large amount of Heat, pressure, and [[Carbon Dioxide]]. This reaction is useful inside a [[Furnace]] for smelting ores and creating alloys, but can be catastrophic when inside a [[Canister]] or a room. | Different ratios of Volatiles and Oxygen will produce different temperatures and pressures during combustion.

This reaction is inconsistent with volatiles being simple hydrocarbons (too much CO<sub>2</sub> is produced), but it may be consistent with more complex organic molecules. If either volatiles or oxidizer is below 0.3mmoles, it reacts completely without any residue. The reaction rate by default (for example: in atmosphere) depends on temperature as clamp01(1 / (0.002 * (T<sub>C</sub> + 273.0)<sup>1.6</sup> + 0.05) / 5 for oxygen as an oxidizer, and clamp01(1 / (0.0025 * (T<sub>C</sub> + 273.0)<sup>1.01</sup> + 0.05) / 5 for nitrous oxide. Thus, the maximum default reaction rate is 0.2 and is valid at temperatures below 211C when without nitrous oxide and 107C when enough nitrous oxide is present (>~5%). After that reaction rate decreases logarithmically. At temperatures above 460C, nitrous enriched fuel combusts faster (at approx. 2x rate) than oxygen only. At higher temperatures, the difference is even greater, thus making the reaction more efficient and violent. Some devices (like [[H2_Combustor|H2 Combustor]] or [[Kit_(Gas_Fuel_Generator)|Gas Fuel Generator]]) increases rate of reaction (to 0.9 i.e. 90% in both cases). | This reaction is inconsistent with volatiles being simple hydrocarbons (too much CO<sub>2</sub> is produced), but it may be consistent with more complex organic molecules.
