Abstract
This paper presents the first measurements of the burning rate of premixed flames inhibited by three fluorinated hydrocarbons whos chemistry is similar to agents which may he used as replacements for CF3Br. Measurements were made of the reduction in the burning rate of premixed methane-air flames stabilized on a Mache-Hebra nozzle burner. The burning rate was determined with the total area method from Schlieren images of the flame. The inhibitors were tested over a range of concentrations and fuel-air equivalence ratios. The measured burning rate reductions are compared with those predicted by numerical solution of the species and energy conservation equations employing a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism recently developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This paper presents initial efforts at testing and validation of the mechanism using burning rate data. The mode of inhibition of these chemicals is inferred through interpretation of the numerical results.Citation
