National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

The Spectral Growth of Expanding Flames: The Infrared Radiance of Methane-Air Ignitions and Coal-Dust-Air.

PB223785

Publication Date	1973
Personal Author	Hertzberg, M.; Litton, C. D.; Donaldson, W. F.; Kuchta, J. M.; Furno, A. L.
Page Count	43
Abstract	Results are reported of a comprehensive study of the absolute spectral radiance of the infrared emissions from methane-air explosions. The spectral growth of these expanding flames are recorded with a time resolution of one msec in the spectral range of 1.7 to 5.0 microns. Time-solved spectra were obtained for methane-air mixtures as a function of stoichiometry, nitrogen dilution and Halon dilution, in a 9-liter vessel under different venting conditions. Data are also presented for coal-dust-air explosions.
