This paper presents the useful experimental results of the self ignition temperature on no existence of the ignition source with regard to heavy fuel oil used mainly for the marine diesel engine. We compare these results with ones of gas oil and marine diesel oil.The ignition temperature of inflammable material is not a constant value. It depends on the characteristics of inflammable material, the mixing ratio with air, the surrounding air pressure, the shape and dimension of a heating body, a measuring apparatus and the method. The purpose of this study is to confirm the self
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
