The laminar burning rate, the explosion pressure, and the pressure rise coefficient have been measured for silane-nitrous oxide-argon mixtures using the spherically expanding flame technique in a constant volume combustion chamber. For these three parameters, the values obtained were higher than for hydrogen-nitrous oxide-argon and typical hydrocarbon-based mixtures. As an example, a maximum burning rate of 1800 g/m² s was measured at 101 kPa, whereas under similar conditions, a maximum burning rate around 950 g/m² s has been reported for hydrogen-nitrous oxide-argon mixtures. Here, the condensed combustion products formed in the silane-nitrous oxide-argon flames were sampled and characterized using electron micrograph, electronic diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction. For all equivalence ratios, silica spherical particles with a mean diameter in the range 200-300 nm were observed. In addition, for mixtures with Φ ≥2.2, silicon nanowires were formed. X-ray diffraction experiments showed that the silicon nanowires are composed of a material referred to as “metal silicon” characterized by a cubic structure (lattice parameter: a = 5.425 Å) with the Fm-3m space group.
