The objective of this work was to specify the mechanism of flame inhibition by compounds that do not contain bromine. Mole fraction profiles have been measured by molecular beam-mass spectrometer technique in a stoichiometric CH{sub 4}/O{sub 2}/Ar low-pressure flame seeded with and without 1% hexafluoroethane (C{sub 2}F{sub 6}). For both flames, stable and reactive species concentrations have been computed and compared with experimental results in order to validate a detailed mechanism. Extension of the mechanism to atmospheric pressure was carried out by substituting the rate constant of a few reactions by high-pressure values. Mole fraction profiles computed in 1-atm-pressure stoichiometric methane-air flame were in very good agreement with Bechtel`s experimental results. Thus validated, the mechanism was used to compute the reduction in flame velocity that results from the addition of increasing amounts of the inhibitor to a methane-oxygen-nitrogen flame. Calculated flame velocities are in very close agreement with experimental values obtained with a premixed flame stabilized on an open tubular burner. This shows that inhibition efficiency of fluorinated compounds can be predicted very accurately.
