Inhibition of Premixed Methane-air Flames by Iron Pentacarbonyl
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: Brorninated fwe suppressants are effective and widely used [1]. Due to their destruction of stratospheric ozone, however, the production of these chemicals was halted in January 1994. Although testing and development of possible substitutes is occurring [2], a repkcement with all of the desirable properdes of CF3Br (the most common fire suppressant) has yet to be identified. Consequently, the Fire Science Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (MST) is conducting research to identify new chemical inhibitors, understand the mechanisms of inhibition of known or widely used agents, and evaluate the performance of proposed agents.

Flame Inhibition by Ferrocene and Blends of Inert and Catalytic Agents
The production of the fire suppressant CF3Br has been banned, and finding a replacement with all of its desirable properties is proving difficult. Iron pentacarbonyl has been found to be up to several orders of magnitude more effective than CF3Br, but it is flammable and highly toxic. Ferrocene [Fe(C5H5)2], which is much less toxic and flammable than Fe(CO)5, can also be used to introduce iron ...
متن کاملSuppression of fuel and air stream diluted methane–air partially premixed flames in normal and microgravity
The effects of fuel and air stream dilution (ASD) with carbon dioxide on the suppression of normal and microgravity laminar methane–air partially premixed coflow jet flames were experimentally and numerically investigated. Experiments were conducted both in our normal-gravity laboratory and at the NASA Glenn Research Center 2.2 s drop tower. Measurements included flame topology and liftoff heig...
متن کاملEffect of multistage combustion on NOx emissions in methane–air flames
Coflow and counterflow methane–air flames are simulated over a complete partially premixed regime in order to characterize the effects of dominant combustion modes (i.e., single-, two-, and three-stage combustion) on NOx emissions. Simulations employ a comprehensive numerical model that uses detailed descriptions of transport and chemistry (GRI-2.11 mechanism) and includes radiation effects. It...
متن کاملEffect of fuel type on the extinction of fuel and air stream diluted partially premixed flames
Previous investigations have demonstrated that the roles of fuel stream dilution (FSD) and air stream dilution (ASD) in suppressing CO2-diluted methane flames are strongly influenced by the level of partial premixing. Herein, we compare this influence for both counterflow and coflow laminar non-premixed and partially premixed flames (PPFs) established with various fuels, including methane, ethy...
متن کاملA flamelet model for premixed stretched flames
A mass-based stretch rate is introduced. Combining this stretch rate with the conservation equations for premixed flames gives a set of quasi-one-dimensional flamelet equations, which describe the structure and the mass burning rate of these flames. An integral analysis is applied to the flamelet equations and subsequently a general expression for the mass burning rate of stretched flames is de...
