AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD FOR MINIMUM IGNITION ENERGY EVALUATION OF GASEOUS MIXTURE
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii din Bucuresti. Chimie - Year 2001, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents the issues highlighted by minimum ignition energy of gaseous explosive mixtures determination. As an alternative for minimum ignition energy evaluation a correlation model with the quenching distance, a more accessible parameter from an experimental point of view, is analysed. The paper also discusses the possibility of minimum ignition energy application, with respect to other parameters, in explosivity class sub-grouping of various explosive mixtures.

EXPANSION COEFFICIENTS AND NORMAL BURNING VELOCITIES OF PROPANE-AIR MIXTURES BY THE CLOSED VESSEL TECHNIQUE
The normal burning velocities of propane-air mixtures were calculated from the expansion coefficients and the cubic law constants of flame propagation in the early stage of closed vessel explosions, using the adiabatic c...
ON THE CURENT DENSITY AND OVERTENSION SIGNS IV. THE CASE OF THE TRANSFER OF TWO IONS OF THE SAME CHARGE ACROSS THE ITIES IN OPEN CIRCUIT CONDITION
For a spontaneous electrode reaction the entropy production and the current density across the electrodic interface and the overtension under which the electrode reaction occurs are intimately linked. From this relations...
DEGRADATION OF 2,4,6-TRINITRORESORCINE (TNR) BYPERSULFATE OXIDATION ACTIVATED WITH ZERO-VALENT IRON (ZVI)
2,4,6-Trinitroresorcine (TNR) with molecular formula C6H3N3O8 is one of the aromatic nitro compounds ranging slight to strong oxidizing agents causing environmental contamination. The persulfate anions activated by ZVI w...
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS FROM DENDROPHTHOE FALCATE
The ethyl acetate extract of the roots and leaves of Dendrophthoe falcate yielded apigenin-8-C-β-D (2"-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl)-glucopyranoside. The isolated compounds were characterized by U V, I R, N M R and mass spectral...
CARBON DIOXIDE AS INHIBITOR FOR IGNITION AND FLAME PROPAGATION OF PROPANE-AIR MIXTURES
The effect of CO2 addition on stoichiometric propane-air mixtures, at ambient pressure and temperature, was analysed for both ignition and flame propagation. The quenching distance significantly increases and the normal...
