Next-Generation Fire Extinguishing Agent. Phase 1. Suppression Concepts.

Abstract

This report documents Phase I of an effort to develop concepts for new and more effective fire extinguishing agents. In Phase I a technology review was performed, suppression hypotheses were developed, and a Phase II plan was established. The technology review covers fire physics, chemistry, and engineering information relevant to flame structure, fire modeling, combustion reactions, oxidation kinetics, and fire suppression. The Phase II effort will emphasize halon like agents owing to their cleanliness and ability to suppress three-dimensional fires. Keywords: Extinguishment, Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Combustion.
