Abstract

We performed numerical simulations of freely propagating premixed flames at atmospheric pressure to investigate the influence of trifluoromethane on $CH_4/O_2/N_2$ flames under oxygen enrichment. Trifluoromethane significantly contributed toward a reduction in flame speed, the magnitude of which was larger in terms of the physical effect than the chemical effect. More trifluoromethane could be added and consumed on oxygen-enriched $CH_4/O_2/N_2$ flames. $CHF_3$ was decomposed primarily via $CF_3{\rightarrow}CF_2{\rightarrow}CF{\rightarrow}CF:O{\rightarrow}CO$ and $CHF_3+M{\rightarrow}CF_2+HF+M$ played an important role in oxygen-enhanced flames. When an inhibitor was added to oxygen-enriched flames, the position of the maximum concentration of active radicals was shifted to a relatively low temperature range, and the net rate of OH became higher than that of H.

산소부화 조건의 $CH_4/O_2/N_2$ 화염에서 트리플루오르메탄의 영향을 조사하기 위해 1기압에서 자유롭게 전파하는 예혼합 화염에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 트리플루오르메탄은 화염속도 감소에 기여하며, 감소의 크기는 화학적 효과보다 물리적 효과에 의해 더 크다. 트리플루오르메탄은 산소부화된 $CH_4/O_2/N_2$ 화염에서 더 많이 첨가되고 소비될 수 있다. 트리플루오르메탄은 주로 $CF_3{\rightarrow}CF_2{\rightarrow}CF{\rightarrow}CF:O{\rightarrow}CO$을 통해 분해되고, 산소부화 화염에서 $CHF_3+M{\rightarrow}CF_2+HF+M$이 중요한 역할을 한다. 억제제가 산소 부화 화염에 첨가함에 따라 활성기 최대 농도의 위치는 상대적으로 낮은 온도로 이동하고, OH의 순생성률은 H의 순생성률보다 높다.
