Development and Validation of a Mechanism for Flame Propagation in R-32/Air Mixtures

March 6, 2018
Author(s)
Donald R. Burgess Jr., Jeffrey A. Manion, Robert R. Burrell, Valeri I. Babushok, Michael Hegetschweiler, Gregory T. Linteris
A mechanism for the combustion of the refrigerant R-32 (CH2F2) in air mixtures was developed and validated through comparisons with measured flame speeds for a range of equivalence ratios (0.9 to 1.4) and pressures (1 to 3 bar) using a constant-volume

Flammability: A Continuum Vs. Discrete Boundary

January 24, 2018
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris
The goals of this talk are: 1.) Understand that flammability behavior is device/configuration dependent, and 2.) Understand the features that influence the flammability behavior of a fuel-air mixture.

Flame Inhibition by Potassium-Containing Compounds

June 30, 2017
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Gregory T. Linteris, Pol Hoorelbeke
A kinetic model of inhibition by the potassium containing compound potassium bicarbonate is suggested. The model is based on the previous work concerning kinetic studies of suppression of secondary flashes, inhibition by alkali metals and the studies of

Extinguishment and Enhancement of Propane Cup-Burner Flames by Halon and Alternative Agents

September 20, 2016
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Fumiaki Takahashi, Viswanath R. Katta, Valeri I. Babushok
Computations of cup-burner flames in normal gravity have been performed to reveal the combustion inhibition and enhancement by the CF3Br (halon 1301) and potential alternative fire-extinguishing agents (C2HF5, C2HF3Cl2, and C3H2F3Br). The time-dependent

Gas-Phase Interactions of Phosphorus Containing Compounds with Cup-Burner Diffusion Flames

September 20, 2016
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Fumiaki Takahashi, Viswanath R. Katta, Valeri I. Babushok
The effects of phosphorus-containing compounds (PCC) on the extinguishment and structure of methane-air coflow diffusion flames, in the cup-burner configuration, have been studied computationally. Dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP), trimethyl phosphate (TMP

Influence of Antimony-Halogen Additives on Flame Propagation

July 8, 2016
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Peter Deglmann, Gregory T. Linteris, Roland H. Kraemer
A kinetic model for flame inhibition by antimony-halogen compounds in hydrocarbon flames is developed. Thermodynamic data for the relevant species are assembled from the literature, and calculations are performed for a large set of additional species of Sb

Influence of Hydrocarbon Moiety of DMMP on Flame Propagation in Lean Mixtures

July 7, 2016
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Valeri I. Babushok, Viswanath R. Katta, Fumiaki Takahashi
Phosphorus-containing compounds (PCCs) have been found to be significantly more effective than CF3Br for reducing burning velocity when added to stoichiometric hydrocarbon-air flames. However, when added to lean flames, DMMP (dimethylmethylphosphonate) is

Premixed flame inhibition by CF3Br and C3H2F3Br (2-BTP)

June 1, 2016
Author(s)
John Pagliaro, Gregory T. Linteris, Nicolas Bouvet
The un-stretched burning velocities and Markstein lengths of premixed CH4- and C3H8-air flames with added C3H2F3Br (2-BTP) or CF3Br (Halon 1301), have been studied experimentally and numerically. The predicted un-stretched burning velocities, using a
