Abstract
The paper presents experimental study of hemispherical flame propagation in a hydrogen-air mixture. The flame propagates over a solid aluminum wall and a layer of steel wool. Velocities of flame propagation are comparing at flame radii up to 0.4 m. Before and after passing through the flame, front steel wool has been investigated by the scanning electron microscope using energy-dispersive analysis system. Calculation of heat absorption in the steel wool layer shows that the heat losses due to the absorption are sufficient to reduce the flame front speed, which is observed in the experiments.
