Flammable compounds are indispensible in domestic as well as in industrial fields as fuel, solvent and raw materials. The fire and explosion properties necessary for safe storage, transport, process design and operation of handling flammable substances are lower explosive limits(LEL), upper explosive limits(UEL), flash point, AIT(auto ignition temperature), MIE(minimum ignition energy), MOC(minimum oxygen concentration) and heats of combustion[1]. The research on the explosive limits is one of fundamental fields of combustion process, and information on the explosive limits of mixture of fuel and oxident, with or without additives, is very important for the prevention in industrial fire and explosion accidents. Therefore, the method to estimate the explosive limits of flammable materials have been of great concern of petroleum, paint, and other industries. The aim of this study is to investigate the lower explosive limits by using flash points for alcohol compounds. |
