Study on inhibition mechanisms of CO2/ABC gas-solid compound suppressant on propane explosion using experiments and DFT method

Key Points

• Propane explosion inhibition efficacy is notably enhanced by the CO2 gas-solid compound, indicating effective suppression strategies.
• Experimental data shows that the CO2 suppressant reduces peak explosion pressures significantly, averaging around 50% lower.
• Analysis through density functional theory (DFT) confirms molecular interactions and stability in suppressing combustion reactions.
• Further insights into gas-solid compound mechanisms may lead to improved safety protocols in industrial settings.
