In combustion research, nitromethane is an important nitro‐compounded liquid propellant offering high performance. Additionally it can be used as a model substance for understanding mechanisms of combustion of solid propellants. The objectives of investigations were the burning behaviour and the flame spectrum in the UV/VIS spectral range because of the appearance of strong radical emissions also present in flames of other energetic materials. The evaluation is based on a detailed chemical kinetics and a linear combustion model including a reduced mechanism.
