β¦ Synopsis
A systematic investigation o/ the extinction of flames by fine powders propagating in a tube, carried out on various propagation rdgimes ranging from uniform flames to detonations, has shown that each flame is best inhibited by a substance of optimum particle diameter, variable with the flame parameters. Additional chemical specificity can result only after the convenient particle diameter is correctly chosen. This second stage of the inhibition process can sometimes drastically reduce the amount of substance necessary to produce extinction. In the cases where a chemical specificity is noted, alkaline salts appear to be more efficient when decomposition, fusion or volatilization is likely to occur at low temperature.

The particle charge was controlled by electrolyte addition. The particle charge had a drastic effect on the flotat
Numerical simulations of premixed gas flame moving in the presence of inert particles are presented. This paper provides background information concerning the use of numerical methods employed that allow for elucidation of the effect of particles on the structure, dynamics and extinction of a premix
