Effect of Perchloryl Fluoride Additions on the Flame Speed of Methane

The effects of addition of small quantities of perchloryl fluoride and of oxygen on the flame speed of methane-air mixtures have been determined and are compared with each other and with the effect of moderately preheating the burning mixture.

Sumario:The effects of addition of small quantities of perchloryl fluoride and of oxygen on the flame speed of methane-air mixtures have been determined and are compared with each other and with the effect of moderately preheating the burning mixture. Only small additions of perchloryl fluoride, up to 3 percent by volume, could be used because of the corrosiveness of its combustion products. Perchloryl fluoride is more effective than oxygen in increasing the flame speed of methane but less effective, in the amounts added, than preheating the burning mixture to 330°F. Maximum flame speeds for given experimental conditions were found to vary linearly with increasing additions of either perchloryl fluoride or oxygen.
