Abstract
Small crystalline boron particles (1-15 μm) are ignited in pure oxygen and oxygen/fluorine atmospheres at the endwall of a high-pressure (8.5 atm) shock tube to study the effect of temperature, particle size, and fluorine additives on ignition delay time. An infrared detector is used to observe gaseous B2O3 emission, while a visible wavelength photodiode is used simultaneously to observe BO2 emission. Both infrared and visible data are presented showing particle size and temperature effects.
