Ignitability, Flammability and Explosibility

Abstract

Within theoretical flammability diagrams, two types of flammability problems can be solved. Type I problems cover flexible oxygen levels in a closed domain, while type II problems deal with fuel streams in a fixed background.  For chemical engineering, purge and dilution are conventional approaches for mixture safety. For suppression engineering, total flooding and local application are corresponding solutions for hazard control. By identifying the critical points within a flammability diagram, two parameters (MMR and MMF), are identified to be more important than others in reconstructing any flammability diagram. All static problems on flammable state can be solved with the help of a theoretical flammability diagram.
