Flammability thresholds or flammability gradients? Determinants of fire across savanna–forest transitions
(2020-01-01)
Vegetation–fire feedbacks are important for determining the distribution of forest and savanna. To understand how vegetation structure controls these feedbacks, we quantified flammability across gradients of tree density ...
Flammability limits temperature dependence of pure compounds in air at atmospheric pressure
(2017-01-01)
The objective of the present work is to study the temperature dependence of the flammability limits for pure compounds, and to develop a methodology to determine these limits in air at atmospheric pressure and at different ...
Method for determination of flammability limits of gaseous compounds diluted with N2 and CO2 in air
(2018-08-15)
The present work studies the flammability limits of combustible–diluent–air mixtures at 25 °C and 1 atm pressure. The diluent species, considered in this study, were nitrogen and carbon dioxide. A factor called kFL was ...
Prediction of flammability limits for ethanol-air blends by the Kriging regression model and response surfaces
(2017-01-01)
Flammability limits must be identified in order to assess and control handling risks of particular processes according to combustion product composition and environmental conditions. Thereby, the present paper aims to ...
Determination of lower flammability limits of C-H-O compounds in air and study of initial temperature dependence
(2016-04-22)
The main objective of this study was to develop a method that can be used to estimate the lower flammability limits of C-H-O compounds at standard temperature and pressure. In addition, a study was carried out to develop ...
Flammability limits: A review with emphasis on ethanol for aeronautical applications and description of the experimental procedure
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-11-30)
The lower and upper flammability limits of a fuel are key tools for predicting fire, assessing the possibility of explosion, and designing protection systems. Knowledge about the risks involved with the explosion of both ...

Difficulties on the determination of the flammability limits of fuel mixtures by the Law of Le Chatelier
(2020-10-01)
In the present article the inaccuracies related to the estimation of the upper flammability limits of fuel mixtures in air by using the Law of Le Chatelier are analyzed. A derivation of the Law of Le Chatelier was provided ...
Flammability and morphology of HDPE/clay nanocomposites
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-07-26)
Determination of upper flammability limits of C[sbnd]H[sbnd]O compounds in air at reference temperature and atmospheric pressure
(2017-01-15)
The objective of the present article was to develop and validate a method for the determination of the upper flammability limits (UFLs) in air, at atmospheric pressure and reference temperature, of flammable compounds ...
