Abstract
A skeletal mechanism of inhibition and suppression of H2/O2/N2 by addition of trimethylphosphate was developed. It includes a mechanism of hydrogen oxidation (13 elementary steps involving 7 species) and two elementary reactions involving trimethylphosphate and its conversion products. This skeletal mechanism adequately predicts the burning velocity of flames with added inhibitor in the range of equivalence ratios studied, and can be used to model fire suppression.
