Modeling of 2-bromotrifluoropropene flame inhibition

August 14, 2014
Author(s)
Donald R. Burgess Jr., Jeffrey A. Manion, Valeri I. Babushok, Gregory T. Linteris
We developed a new chemical mechanism for modeling flame inhibition by 2-bromotrifluoropene (2-BTP). The modeling results qualitatively predicted agent behavior in cup-burner and FAA Aerosol Can tests over a wide range of conditions. The ban on igh ozone

Alkylperoxy Radical Photochemistry in Organic Aerosol Formation Processes

December 9, 2013
Author(s)
Alicia Kalafut-Pettibone, Joseph Klems, Donald R. Burgess Jr., William S. McGivern
Recent studies have shown that 254 nm light can be used to generate organic aerosol from iodoalkane/air mixtures via photodissociation of the C−I bond and subsequent oxidation of the single radical isomer. We examine organic aerosol formed from 1

Annual Report to Sponsor: Understanding Unwanted Combustion Enhancement by Potential Halon Replacements

February 3, 2012
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Jeffrey A. Manion, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Iftikhar A. Awan, Peter B. Sunderland, John L. Pagliaro
This year, we continued work to numerically model the behavior of the Halon replacements in the FAA Aerosol Can Test (FAA-ACT) to understand why they are causing more overpressure rather than flame extinction. The goal is to understand the process to

Standard Reactions for Comparative Rate Studies: Experiments on the Dehydrochlorination Reactions of 2 Chloropropane, Chlorocyclopentane and Chlorocyclohexane

November 23, 2011
Author(s)
Iftikhar A. Awan, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Wing Tsang, Jeffrey A. Manion
Single pulse shock tube studies of the thermal dehydrochlorination reactions (chlorocyclopentane → cyclopentene + HCl) and (chlorocyclohexane → cyclohexene + HCl) at temperatures of 843 to 1021 K and pressures of 1.4 to 2.4 bar have been carried out using

Stirred-Reactor Simulations of Enhanced Reaction in the Presence of Fire Suppressants

October 12, 2011
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Fumiaki Takahashi, Viswanath R. Katta, Oliver Meier
Several agents are under consideration to replace CF3Br in suppressing aircraft cargo bays fires. In a Federal Aviation Administration performance test simulating the explosion of an aerosol can, however, the replacements, when added at sub-inerting

Announcement: Greetings from the New Co-Editors

January 2, 2008
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Donald R. Burgess Jr.
This is an editorial from the two incoming editors of the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data, describing their future plans.

In Situ Gas Phase Diagnostics for Hafnium Oxide Atomic Layer Deposition

January 1, 2008
Author(s)
James E. Maslar, Wilbur S. Hurst, Donald R. Burgess Jr., William A. Kimes, Nhan V. Nguyen, Elizabeth F. Moore, Joseph T. Hodges
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an important method for depositing the nanometer-scale, conformal high  dielectric layers required for many nanoelectronics applications. In situ monitoring of ALD processes has the potential to yield insights that will

An Investigation of Particle Dynamics in a Rotating Disk Chemical Vapor Deposition Reactor

February 1, 2003
Author(s)
D M. Kremer, R W. Davis, Elizabeth F. Moore, James E. Maslar, Donald R. Burgess Jr., S H. Ehrman
This paper describes a numerical model for the nucleation, growth and transport of gas phase particles formed during the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of epitaxial silicon from silane. This model has been constructed for use with the Sandia SPIN code

Kinetic Study of the Reactions of CF 3 O 2 Radicals with Cl and NO

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
F Louis, Donald R. Burgess Jr., M Rayez, J P. Sawerysyn
Kinetic studies of the reactions CF 3O 2 + Cl and CF 3O 2 + NO were performed at room temperature in the gas phase using the discharge flow/mass spectrometric technique (DF/MS). The reactions were investigated under pseudo-first-order conditions with Cl or

A Microcontamination Model for Rotating Disk Chemical Vapor Deposition Reactors

February 11, 1998
Author(s)
R W. Davis, Elizabeth F. Moore, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Michael R. Zachariah
This paper presents preliminary results from a model currently under development for gas-phase generated submicro-size contaminant particles (i.e., microcontaminants) in rotating disk chemical vapor deposition reactors. These particles present a problem

Inhibitor Influence on the Bistability of a CSTR

January 1, 1997
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, T Noto, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Anthony P. Hamins, Wing Tsang
Methane combustion in a continuously stirred flow tank reactor (CSTR) in the presence and absence of chemical inhibitors such as CF3I, CF3Br, CF3H, and a chemically inert gas with high heat capacity is simulated with the CHEMKIN program. The aim of the
