Skeletal mechanism of inhibition and suppression of a methane-air flame by addition of trimethyl phosphate

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion, and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

A skeletal mechanism of inhibition and quenching of methane flames by addition of trimethyl phosphate was developed. It includes a mechanism of methane oxidation consisting of 19 elementary steps involving 15 species (including N2), and four elementary reactions involving three phosphorus-containing species (PO2, HOPO, and HOPO2). The developed skeletal mechanism adequately predicts the burning velocity of flames with added inhibitor over a range of equivalence ratio of 0.7–1.4 and can be used to model fire suppression.
