Effect of Halogenated Flame Inhibitors on C1-C2 Organic Flames

July 28, 1996

T Noto, Valeri I. Babushok, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Anthony P. Hamins, Wing Tsang, A W. Miziolek
The influence of CF3Br, CF3I, CF4, CHF3, C2F6, and C2HF on laminar flame propagation in mixtures of CH4, CH3OH, C2H6, and C2H4 with air has been determined by numerical simulaitons. Comparisons are made with experimental results and earlier calculations

THE INFLUENCE OF HALOGENATED FIRE SUPPRESSANTS ON THE COMBUSTION OF C1-C2 HYDROCARBONS

January 1, 1996
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Donald R. Burgess Jr., T Noto, Anthony P. Hamins, Wing Tsang, A W. Miziolek
Numerical simulations of the combustion of a number of fuels; (CH,, CH,OH, C2H,, GH, and C&J in air, in the presence and absence of fire suppressants, (CF,Br, CFJ, CF,, Cm3, GF6, and QF5H) have been carried out The simulations considered reactions in a

MODELING OF HYDROGEN FLUORIDE FORMATION FROM FLAME SUPPRESSANTS DURING COMBUSTION

January 1, 1995

Valeri I. Babushok, Donald R. Burgess Jr., Gregory T. Linteris, Wing Tsang, A W. Miziolek
We have completed an initial computational study related to acid gas formation for two of the leading near-term Halon substitutes, FE-13 (CF,H) and HFC-125 (C,F,H), and compared these results with Halon 1301 (CF,Br). Our goal is to determine whether we can

Flame Inhibition Chemistry and the Search for Additional Fire Fighting Chemicals (NIST SP 861)

April 1, 1994

Replacements for the current commercial halons should posses a diverse set of properties which are rarely found together in the same molecule. Thus, the ideal candidate for the replacement of halon 1301 would be a nontoxic gas which is reactive in flames
