A Study on Explosive Limits of Flammable Materials - Prediction of Explosive Properties and Temperature Dependence of Explosive Limits for n-Alcohols -

가연성물질의 폭발한계에 관한 연구 -알코올화합물의 폭발특성치 및 폭발한계의 온도의존성 예측-

By using literature data, the empirical equations have been derived which describe the interrelationships of explosion and other related properties of n-alcohols. The properties which have been correlated data are : lower and upper explosive limits, heats of combustion, carbon numbers. Also, the new equation for predicting the temperature dependence of lower explosive limits(LEL) of n-alcohols on the basis of explosive limits, heats of combustion, flame propagation theory and mathematical method is proposed. The values calculated by the proposed equations were a good agreement with literature data within a few percent. From a given explosive properties. by using the proposed equations, it is possible to predict the other properties. It is hoped eventually that this method will permit the estimation of the explosive properties of alcohol with improved accuracy and the broader application for other compounds.
