The autoignition temperature (AIT) of a substance is the lowest temperature at which the vapor ignites spontaneously from the heat of the environment. The AIT is important index for the safe handling of flammable liquids which constitute the solvent mixtures in the process. This study measured the AITs of n-butanol+p-xylene mixture by using ASTM E659 apparatus. The AITs of n-butanol and p-xylene which constituted binary system were $340^{\circ}C$ and $557^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimental AITs of n-butanol+p-xylene mixture were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D.(average absolute deviation).

In order to investigate the compatibility of data in MSDS(Material Safety Data Sheet), the flash point of xylene isomer was measured by using Pensky-Martens closed cup (ASTM D93), Setaflash closed cup(ASTM D3278), Tag open cup(ASTM D1310), and Cleveland open cup (ASTM D92) testers. Also, the AITs(autoignition temperatures) of xylene isomers were measured by using ASTM E659-78 tester. The measured the flash points and the AITs were compared with literatures and MSDS in KOSHA(Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency). The measured the flash points and the AITs were different from those in literatures and MSDS. As a result, this paper is shown that it is needed to investigate combustion characteristics of xylene isomer for the fire safety objectives.

The combustible properties(flash point, explosion limit and autoignition temperature) are the important safety items which are considered in the typical MSDS(material safety data sheet). In this study, for the safe handling of n-butyl methacrylate(n-BMA) being used in various ways in the chemical industry, the flash point and the autoignition temperature(AIT) of n-butyl methacrylate was experimented. And, the lower explosion limit of n-butyl methacrylate was calculated by using the lower flash point obtained in the experiment. The flash points of n-butyl methacrylate by using the Setaflash and Pensky-Martens closed-cup testers measured $44^{\circ}C$ and $51^{\circ}C$, respectively. The flash points of n-butyl methacrylate by using the Tag and Cleveland open cup testers are measured $53^{\circ}C$. The AIT of n-butyl methacrylate by ASTM 659E tester was measured as $295^{\circ}C$. The lower explosion limit by the measured flash point $44^{\circ}C$ was calculated as 0.85 vol.%. It was possible to predict lower explosion limit by using the experimental flash point or flash point in the literature.

The lowest values of the AITs(Autoignition temperatures) in the literature were normally used fire and explosion protection. In this study, the AITs of n-Propanol+n-Octane system were measured from ignition delay time(time lag) by using ASTM E659 apparatus. The AITs of n-Propanol and n-Octane which constituted binary systems were $435^{\circ}C$ and $218^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimental ignition delay time of n-Propanol+n-Octane system were a good agreement with the calculated ignition delay time by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D.(average absolute deviation).

The autoignition temperature (AIT) of a material is the lowest temperature at which the material will spontaneously ignite. The AIT is important index for the safe handling of flammable liquids which constitute the solvent mixtures. This study measured the AITs of n-Decane+sec-Butanol system by using ASTM E659 apparatus. The AITs of n-Decane and sec-Butanol which constituted binary system were $212^{\circ}C$ and $447^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimental AITs of n-Decane+sec-Butanol system were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D. (average absolute deviation).

The values of the AITs(Autoignition temperatures) for fire and explosion protection are normally the lowest reported. This study measured the AITs of ethylbenzene+n-hexanol and ethylbenzene+n-propionic acid Systems from ignition delay time(time lag) by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus. The AITs of ethylbenzene, n-hexanol and n-propionic acid which constituted binary systems were $475^{\circ}C,\;275^{\circ}C\;and\;511^{\circ}C$, respectively. The experimental ignition delay time of ethylbenzene+n-hexanol and ethylbenzene+n-propionic acid systems were a good agreement with the calculated ignition delay time by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D.(average absolute deviation).

For the safe handling of n-dodecane, the explosion limits were investigated and the lower flash points and AITs (autoignition temperatures) by ignition delay time were experimented. By using the literatures data, the lower and upper explosion limits of n-dodecanee recommended 0.6 Vol.% and 4.7 Vol.%, respectively. The lower flash points of n-dodecane by using closed-cup tester were experimented $77^{\circ}$ and $80^{\circ}C$. The lower flash points of n-dodecane by using open cup tester were experimented $84^{\circ}C$ and $87^{\circ}C$. This study measured relationship between the AITs and the ignition delay times by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus for n-dodecane. The experimental AIT of n-dodecane was $222^{\circ}C$.

Traditional propellants which have a hypergolic characteristic have a high performance but also have disadvantages of toxicity and complex handling requirement. In order to replace these propellants, one of the alternatives is hydrogen peroxide which generates high temperature oxygen and water vapor after catalytic reaction. In this paper, autoignition characteristics of kerosene by decomposed hydrogen peroxide were investigated to perform fundamental research for designing a thruster using hydrogen peroxide and kerosene propellants. Contraction ratio, whether flame holder exists or not, and feeding pressure of propellants were selected as variables. From the experiments for different mixture ratio, we confirmed the ignition stability is strongly affected by a feeding pressure of propellants.
