Determination of explosion parameters of LPG-air mixtures in the closed vessel
The experimental results of the measurements of the explosion pressure and rate of explosion pressure rise as a function of propane/butane concentration in the mixture with air in the 20 L explosion chamber are tested. The research was aimed at determination of the explosion pressure and limits. The...
