Abstract
The total burning time of boron carbide powder has been measured in premixed laminar boron carbide-propane-oxygen-nitrogen flames at atmospheric pressure. Burning times were several times longer than for elemental boron of the same particle size and were even longer than predicted by extrapolation from larger single-boron carbide particle burning experiments. Several possible explanations for this discrepancy are discussed.
