The effects of reactor core-simulant aerosols on hydrogen/air combustion

Creators

  • 1. Sandia National Labs., Albuquerque, NM

Description

Three representative reactor core-simulant aerosols were dispersed, just before ignition, into combustible hydrogen-air mixtures contained in 5.1 and 0.18 m/sup 3/ chambers. Oxidic aerosols (Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/) produced only minor changes in the burns. A metallic aerosol (Fe) ignited along with the hydrogen, producing more complete combustion of the hydrogen and substantially increased overpressures and thermal effects compared to control experiments performed identically without the aerosols
