COMBUSTION OF ELEMENTAL BORON

Abstract

The effect of gas velocity, O concentration, and physical size of B on the combustion of elemental B at 2300 K and above in pure O and in O diluted with N and Ar was experimentally investigated. The results were interpreted on the basis of an O-diffusion-controlled mechanism. On this basis excellent agreement was obtained between theoretically calculated and experimentally determined combustion rates. This study resulted in obtaining conditions for the successful selfpropagating combustion of B in air. (Author)
