Synergistic fire suppression mechanism of perfluorohexanone and perfluorotriethylamine mixtures: Experimental and quantum chemical insights from a modified cup-burner
Perfluorohexanone (C6F12O), a Halon-alternative fire suppressant, exhibits combustion-enhancing effects at low concentrations (<3% vol), increasing n-heptane flame height by 120 % via radical chain reactions. This study investigates the synergistic fire suppression mechanism of C6F12O/perfluorotriethylamine (C6F15N) blends in a diffusion flame (non-premixed combustion) using a modified cup-burner system and quantum chemical simulations. Results demonstrate that the critical extinguishing concentration of pure C6F12O for n-heptane flames is 5.8 % vol, while blending with 20 % molar C6F15N reduces this value to 5.12 % vol (synergistic index: 0.92). Flame core temperature decreases by 150 °C (from 808 °C to 658 °C) upon suppressant addition, reflecting suppressed heat release rate (HRR) via endothermic decomposition. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that C6F12O captures OH· radicals via its carbonyl group (HOMO-LUMO gap: 0.212 eV), whereas C6F15N disrupts chain reactions through its electron-rich nitrogen center (HOMO-LUMO gap: 0.360 eV). Their synergy combines physical dilution, chemical quenching, and thermal absorption. This work provides theoretical and experimental foundations for designing eco-friendly hybrid fire suppressants.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
