The flammability limits of H2–CO–CH4 mixtures in air at elevated temperatures

Risk assessment for the preparation of compressed oxidant–fuel gas mixtures. Application to the H2/air mixture manufacturing

“…Data on commonly accepted flammability limit and self-ignition temperature values at ambient pressure are given in Table 1. LFL given by Coward and Jones is in a good agreement with recent values [34,35]. For UFL the discrepancies are more important between old data [2,36] and recent data [13,36].…”

Determination of lower flammability limits of C–H–O compounds in air and study of initial temperature dependence

“…The experimental data for the lower flammability limits of C-H and C-H-O compounds at different initial temperatures and at 1 atm were obtained from studies by Kondo et al (2011), Coronado et al (2014Coronado et al ( , , 2012, Wierzba and Wang (2006), Rowley et al (2010), Craven and Foster (1966), Li et al (2011), Karim et al (1984), Goethals et al (1999), and Ciccarelli et al (2006).…”

“…For some compounds, there is more than one experimental data source. For instance, the reference values for methane taken from Kondo et al (2011) is 4.95% at 21°C; in Wierzba and Wang (2006) it is 4.90% at 25°C; and in Li et al (2011), it is 5.00% at 26.85°C. Each one of those experimental values is considered a reference point.…”

A study on flammability limits of fuel mixtures

“…More recently, Markus et al studied flammability limits of CH 4 -CH 3 OH-air premix flames and stated that Le Chaterier's rule was not applicable to the upper flammability limits of this system [9]. On the other hand, Wierzba and Wang studied flammability limits of H 2 -CO-CH 4 mixtures at elevated temperature, and found that Le Chaterier's rule can be applied with fair accuracy to the mixtures [10].…”
