This paper studies the effects of small additives of propylene and isopropanol on the hydrogen-air flame speed in the predetonation regime, deflagration-to-detonation transition, and burning rate. It is shown that the difference in the effects of these additives on the combustion is determined primarily by their ability to terminate reaction chains. In hydrogen flames, the additives are consumed as a result of their reactions with the active intermediate products of H 2 combustion in which these species are replaced by inactive radicals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
