OSTI ID:7086636
The effect of elevated temperature on the various modes of combustion of hydrogen-air-steam mixtures is reviewed. The modes include spontaneous combustion, diffusion flames, deflagrations, and detonations. The purpose of this paper is to review the existing data on high-temperature hydrogen combustion, identify areas where uncertainties exist, and discuss the importance of these uncertainties with respect to reactor safety for three different accident scenarios. 18 refs., 5 figs.
