Marginally Flammable Materials: Burning Velocity of Trans-Dichloroethylene

September 10, 2000
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Valeri I. Babushok
The overpressure dynamics and explosion hazard of commodity materials under full-scale conditions are often assessed through laboratory measurements of their laminar burning velocity. We present the first measurements of the flame speed of trans-1,2

Measurements of Particle Formation in Flames Inhibited by Iron Pentacarbonyl

March 14, 1999
Author(s)
M D. Rumminger, Gregory T. Linteris
Certain metallic compounds have been found to be substantially more effective flame inhibitors than halogen-containing compounds. In particular, iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) was found to be one of the strongest inhibitors--up to two orders of magnitude

Combustion Experiments on STS-83 and STS-94: The Crew's Perspective

February 1, 1999
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, J. E. Voss, R. Crouch
Despite years of planning and hundreds of drop-tower tests in preparation, the combustion experiments aboard STS-83 and STS-94 were full of surprises. Fortunately, these surprises were related to physical phenomena rather than the hardware's performance

Chemical Limits to Flame Inhibition

December 1, 1998
Author(s)
Valeri I. Babushok, Wing Tsang, Gregory T. Linteris, D Reinelt
This paper deals with the ultimate limits of chemical contributions to flame inhibition. Particular attention is focussed on the inhibition cycles which regenerate the inhibitor. This leads to the definition of an idealized "perfect" inhibition cycle. It

Particle Measurements in Fe(CO)5-Inhibited Flames (NISTIR 6242)

October 1, 1998
Author(s)
M D. Rumminger, Gregory T. Linteris
Since iron pentacarbonyl (Fe(CO)5) is among the most efficient flame inhibitors ever identified, research on flame inhibition by Fe(CO5) was recently started at NIST with the goal of understanding its mechanism. Obtaining a detailed understanding of this

Structure and Soot Properties of Nonbuoyant Ethylene/Air Laminar Jet Diffusion Flames

August 1, 1998
Author(s)
D L. Urban, Zeng-guang Yuan, Peter B. Sunderland, Gregory T. Linteris, J. E. Voss, Kenneth Lin, Z Dai, Kairan Sun
The structure and soot properties of round, soot-emitting, nonbuoyant, laminar jet diffusion flames are described, based on long-duration (175-230-s) experiments at microgravity carried out on orbit in the Space Shuttle Columbia. Experimental conditions

Chemical Effects of CF3H in Extinguishing Counterflow CO/Air/H2 Diffusion Flames

July 28, 1996
Author(s)
G. S. Fallon, H K. Chelliah, Gregory T. Linteris
The relative importance of introducing CF3H as a fire suppressant with the oxidizer or the fuel stream, and its chemical and thermal effects on the extinction condition of counterflow CO/air/H2 diffusion flames, are investigated both experimentally and
