Abstract
The existing methods for calculating the lower concentration limit of flammability (C/) [1, 2], based on the constancy of the adiabatic flame temperature, give considerable deviations (of the order of magnitude of 30-40 rel.%) from the value measured for chlorine-contain ing compounds. On transition to bromine-containing compounds, the error is still larger. The explanation for this is that these calculation methods do not take into account the known [3-5] fact of the inhibiting influence of the decomposition products of the halogencontaining compounds on the processes occurring in flame. This influence can be taken into account if the method for calculating the lower concentration limit of flammability is used. This method was developed on the principle of equality of branching (6br) and cleavage (flcl) probabilities in the chain reactions proceeding in flame, and the thermophysical properties of the system studied [6]. The method consists in the search for a kinetic equation expressing the critical condition:
