REVIEW OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS OF FLIGHT VEHICLE COMBUSTIBLES, SUPPLEMENT 2

Abstract

This is the third in a series of reports on the fire and explosion hazards associated with com bustibles and other gases likely to be found in aircraft and missile systems. It presents theoretical and experimental results on homo geneous mixtures in air. Two pressure peaks were observed in venting hydrogen-air mixtures into a low pressure atmosphere. When venting a fire above a liquid pool under the same con ditions, the liquid regression rate and flame size were found to increase.
