Prediction of Upper Flammability Limit of Paraffinic Hydrocarbons by Numerical Simulation

수치모사에 의한 파라핀족 탄화수소의 연소상한계의 예측

A new model for predicting upper flammability limits( UFL ) of paraffinic hydrocarbons is developed, based on statistics and numerical simulation. With the proposed model, UFL have been calculated for 24 compounds, and when compared with experimental data, this model produced average percent error of 2.96%. When compared to established methods published by Spakowski and Zabetakis, this model produced more accurate results.
