New Correlations for Predicting Flammability Limits of Pure Materials and Mixtures
Apr 2, 2012
Ting Ma
Flammability limits are one of the most important parameters to characterize material hazards. Currently, numerous methods or correlations, either stoichiometry or energy based, have been developed to evaluate flammability limits. In this work, a thermal theory is proposed to understand the dual...
