Effects of Oxygen Enrichment and Hydrogen Addition on CF4 Decomposition in Methane/Air Counterflow Flames

Key Points

• The aim is to investigate how oxygen enrichment and hydrogen addition impact the decomposition of CF4 in flames.
• Utilized counterflow flames with methane and air mixtures.
• Applied varying levels of oxygen enrichment and hydrogen addition.
• Analyzed the chemical reactions involved in CF4 decomposition.
• Oxygen enrichment significantly increased CF4 decomposition rates.
• Hydrogen addition showed improved efficiency in reducing CF4 levels.
• Combined interventions suggest a promising approach for mitigating global warming impacts.
