The Minimum Autoignition Temperature Behavior(MAITB) of n-Decane and Acetic acid Mixture

Abstract

The autoignition temperature(AIT) is important index for the safe handling of flammable liquids which constitute the solvent mixtures. This study measured the AITs and ignition delay time for n-Decane and Acetic acid system by using ASTM E659 apparatus. The AITs of n-Decane and Acetic acid which constituted binary system were 212 o C and 512 o C, respectively. The experimental AITs of n-Decane and Acetic acid system were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with a few A.A.D.(average absolute deviation). And n-Decane and Acetic acid system was shown the minimum autoignition temperature behavior(MAITB).
