A study of nitrogen dilution effect on the flammability limits of methane

Explosive/Flammability limits data are essential for a quantitative risk assessment of explosion hazard associated with the use of combustible gas. The present work is to obtain the fundamental explosive data for prevention of the hazards in the practical applications. Experiments have been conducte...
