The effect of nitrogen dilution on flammability limits of LPG

Many manufacturing processes involve flammable chemicals, and an accident involving a fire or an explosion can occur in storage or process equipment if a flammable chemical exist inside it or if a loss of containment of flammable chemicals occurs. The aims of this study are to determine the flammabi...
