Abstract

The upper and lower flammability limits of silane-oxygen and silane-air mixtures at pressures of 0.05-1.1 atm and temperatures of 350-640 K are found on the basis of Westbrook's detailed chemical kinetics. It is demonstrated that the death of OH radicals has a minor effect on these limits (their stability) within the framework of the Arrhenius kinetic model. The effect of the silane-air mixture composition on the flammability limits is found. It is shown that the behavior of the ultimate temperature of ignition is nonmonotonic as the fraction of silane increases.
