THE EFFECT OF BURNING VELOCITY INHIBITORS ON THE IGNITION OF HYDROCARBON-OXYGEN-NITROGEN MIXTURES
Abstract
It has been proposed that the mechanism of inhibition by halogens in hydrocarbon flames involves an increase in ignition temperature with a consequent prolongation of the preignition zone. An examination of this hypothesis was undertaken by a systematic investigation of the effect of a number of well-recognized burning velocity inhibitors on the ignition of hydrocarbon mixtures by hot wires in a 35 mm quartz tube. Data are reported for ignition temperature as a function of additive concentration for methane and/or propane mixtures with oxygen and nitrogen at ambient temperature and pressure.
