From chemistry-request@www.ccl.net Tue Jun 10 16:55 EDT 1997 Subject: 97.07.22 Symposium on Halon Replacements From: "Rajiv J. Berry MLBT CON" <berryrj@ml.wpafb.af.mil> To: CHEMISTRY@www.ccl.net Content-Type: text The Center for Computational Modeling of Nonstructural Materials at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Dayton, Ohio will host the Third Symposium on Halon Replacements: Kinetic Modeling of Flame Suppression on 22-24 July 1997. The papers will focus on computation-based work on the kinetics of halon and halon alternatives, with experimental work included as necessary for validation of results. Papers will consist of invited and contributed papers. Attached below is a preliminary list of speakers/titles. Additional information and registration materials for this meeting can be obtained at http://msrc.wpafb.af.mil/msrc/PET/ASC/CCM/workshops/halon/halon.html or by e-mail from berryrj@ml.wpafb.af.mil LIST OF TALKS: Valeri Babushok, NIST Chemical Limits to Flame Inhibition: Effectiveness of Metallic Flame Suppressants Frederique Battin-Leclerc, University of Nancy, France Rajiv Berry, Air Force Research Lab Kinetics and Unusual Products of the Reactions of Oxygen Atoms with Alkyl Iodides Joseph Bozzelli, New Jersey Institute of Technology Reactions of Bromine Species Leading to Inhibition in H2 and CH4 Oxidation Donald Burgess, NIST The Use of BAC-MP4 Calculations in the Development of a Chemical Kinetic Mechanism for Fluorinated Hydrocarbons Guy-Marie Come, University of Nancy, France Peter Haaland, Huntington Research and Engineering Labile Bromine Fire Suppressants Paul Marshall, University of North Texas The Kinetics of Elementary Reactions of CF3Br and CF3I with H, OH, O and CH3 Radicals: Experiments, Ab Initio Calculations and Implications for Combustion Chemistry Andrew McIlroy, Sandia National Lab Kinetic Modeling of Hydrogen Combustion Suppression by CF3I George Petersson, Wesleyan University Complete Basis Set Reaction Rates Martin Schwartz, University of North Texas Rate Constant Predictions for Hydrogen Abstraction Reactions Joseph Durant, Sandia National Lab Karl Irikura, NIST Ab Initio Kinetics of the Thermal Dehydrohalogenation of Alkyl Iodides Marie-Therese Rayez, University of Bordeaux, France H.
