Abstract
The flammability limits for combustible gas (methane, hydrogen)-nitrous oxide-fluorinated hydrocarbon (trifluoromethane CHF3, pentafluoroethane C2HF5, perfluorobutane C4F10) mixtures are experimentally determined The upper and lower flammability limits turned out to be, respectively, significantly higher and lower as compared to those characteristic of the combustion in air The compositions of the mixtures at the peaks of the flammability curves are characterized by lower values of the fuel equivalence ratio φ (in most cases, φ 05) It was established that the inhibiting concentrations of fluorinated hydrocarbons for the combustion of methane and hydrogen in nitrous oxide are similar, in contrast to the combustion in oxygen- nitrogen oxidative media A qualitative interpretation of the results is given

Deflagration Characteristics of N2-Diluted CH4-N2O Mixtures in the Course of the Incipient Stage of Flame Propagation

TL;DR: In this paper, experimental measurements in a spherical combustion bomb were performed in order to investigate the flame propagation in N2-diluted CH4-N2O mixtures with stoichiometric equivalence ratio, at several initial pressures (0.5-1.75 bar) and ambient initial temperatures.

Flammability characteristics of combustible gases and vapors

TL;DR: In this article, a summary of the available limit of flammability, autoignition, and burning rate data for more than 200 combustible gases and vapors in air and other oxidants, as well as empirical rules and graphs that can be used to predict similar data for thousands of other combustibles under a variety of environmental conditions are given.

Burning velocities and flammability limits of gaseous mixtures at elevated temperatures and pressures

TL;DR: In this paper, burning velocities and flammability limits of gaseous mixtures of combustible gas (hydrogen and methane), oxidizer (oxygen and air), and diluent (nitrogen, argon, helium, carbon dioxide, steam, water aerosol formed by evaporation of superheated water) have been measured at elevated temperatures ( up to 250°C) and pressures (up to 4.0 MPa).
