Abstract

Low explosion limits of flammable liquid mixtures can be calculated with the appropriate use of the fundamental laws of Raoult, Dalton, Le Chatelier and activity coefficient models. In this paper, Raoult's law, van Laar equation and Wilson equation are shown to be applicable for the prediction of the lower explosion limits for ethylacetate+ethanol and ethanol+toluene systems. The calculated values based on Raoult's law were found to be better than those based on van Laar and Wilson equations.

혼합물의 폭발하한계는 Raoult의 법칙, Dalton의 법칙, Le Chatelier 법칙 그리고 활동도계수 모델식을 이용하여 예측될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 ethylacetate-ethanol 계와 ethanol+toluene 계의 폭발하한계를 예측하기 위해 Raoult의 법칙 그리고 활동도계수 모델식인 van Laar 식과 Wilson 식을 이용하였다. 계산값과 문헌값을 비교한 결과, Raoult의 법칙에 의한 계산값이 활동도 모델식에 의한 계산값 보다 모사성이 뛰어남을 확인하였다.
