Flame Quenching

Abstract

The possibility of explosions in a duct or chambers, which may contain a mixture of an explosive vapour and air, is a hazard commonly occurring in industrial plant, often necessitating a very strong and costly form of construction which would otherwise not be required. Where the structure is not strong enough to withstand explosion pressures serious damage results, frequently with injury to personnel.

Complexes of Tantalum and Antimony Pentafluorides with Dimethyl Ether and Trimethylamine

“…There has been considerable study, via fluorine resonance spectroscopy, of the complexes formed between oxygen or nitrogen containing organic compounds and Lewis acid fluorides (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). In some cases there have been studies of the rates of exchange between free and complexed species and details of exchange mechanism have been elucidated (1, 6, 7).…”

Theoretical and experimental studies on flame propagation and quenching of powdered fuels

“…Furthermore, Berlad and Potter [1956] made use of the quenching data to empirically establish a relation between burning velocity, the boundary velocity gradient and quenching distance. Massey and Lindley [1958] reviewed the subject of flame quenching with some emphasis on its application in flame arrestor.…”
