Abstract Surrounded by one of the largest petrochemical compounds in Argentina, a highly polluted river that brings the toxic waste of tanneries and other industries, a hazardous and largely unsupervised waste incinerator, and an unmonitored landfill, Flammable’s soil, air, and water are contaminated with lead, chromium, benzene, and ...

Estimation of the flammability zone boundaries for flammable gases
Process Safety Progress, 2010Abstract For flammable gases and liquids in air, the upper and lower flammable limits are adequate to define the flammability. However, for either nitrogen or oxygen enriched mixtures the flammability is expressed more generally as a boundary in a flammable zone.

Flammability and explosion characteristics of mildly flammable refrigerants
Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, 2017Abstract Lab and large-scale tests were performed for mildly flammable compounds R-32, ammonia, and 1234yf, along with the flammable compound R-152a, and extremely flammable compounds methane, propane, and dimethyl ether. Properties measured at the lab scale include: the flammability limits; auto-ignition temperature; minimum ignition energy; peak ...

On the theory of flammability limits☆
Combustion and Flame, 1963Abstract It is proposed that the multiple eigenvalue nature of the steady state flame equation corresponds to a flame problem in which flammability limits arise as a fundamental aspect of a one-dimensional adiabatic flame. This is in contrast to previous descriptions of flammability limits which ascribe the failure of flames to propagate under ...

Flammable state and dilution requirement in the theoretical flammability diagram
Process Safety Progress, 2013A generic method is proposed to use the flammability diagram to determine the flammable state of a mixture and the dilution requirements. All graphs are derived from theory, without any empirical constants. This method is comprehensive and consistent with a same treatment for fuel(s)/oxidizer(s)/diluent(s). The theoretical LFL lines are generally lower
