노말알칸류와 방향족탄화수소류의 상부인화점 측정에 의한 폭발상한계의 예측 = Prediction of Upper Explosion Limits(UEL) by Measurement of Upper Flash Points for n-Alkanes and Aromatic Compounds

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Explosion limit and flash point are the major combustion properties used to determine the fire and explosion hazards of the flammable substances. In this study, in order to predict upper explosion limits(UELs), the upper flash point of n-alkanes and aromatic compounds were measured under the VLE(vapor-liquid equilibrium) state by using Setaflash closed cup tester(ASTM D3278). The UELs calculated by Antoine equation and chemical stoichiometric coefficient tusing the experimental upper flash point were compared with the several reported UELs. From the given results, using the proposed experimental and predicted method, it is possible to research the upper explosion limits of the other flammable substances.
