Abstract: This paper discusses the fundamental possibility of determining the temperature of nanooxides in flames using thermal emission spectra. It is found that experimentally determined temperatures can be close to the real temperatures of particles only in the case of a high concentration of structural defects in the particles. It is shown that the energy accumulated in these defects should be accounted for in describing the heat release of metal-containing flames.

Keywords: flames, nanoparticles, temperature.
