Abstract
A preliminary kinetic model is presented for the combustion of the refrigerants: 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf), 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E)) and 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (R-1243zf). The kinetic model is based on GRI-Mech-3.0 and previously developed models for the inhibition of hydrocarbon flames by 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (2-BTP), and C1-C2 hydrofluorocarbons. The model includes 1003 reactions and 105 species. Thermodynamic equilibrium calculations indicate a maximum combustion temperature of 2079 K, 2068 K and 2289 K for R-1234yf, R-1234ze(E) and R-1243zf, respectively, in air for standard conditions: 298 K, 101 kPa. Calculations of the 1D, steady, planar laminar burning velocity for these refrigerants with air or oxygen-enriched air (with 1.4 % water vapor in the oxidizer) indicate reasonable agreement with experimental data from the literature for burning velocities above 15 cm/s. Increasing oxygen mole fraction in the oxidizer shifts the maximum adiabatic temperature to the leaner conditions for R-1234yf and R-1234ze(E), but to richer conditions for R-1234zf.
