Burgess-Wheeler law

The lower flammability limit of a hydrogen-air mixture was observed to be a function of temperature expressed by the empirical Burgess-Wheeler law [131]. The respective value near the boiling point (20 K) is 7.7 voI% and as low as 2.3 vol% at a temperature of 723 K. Because of its strong buoyancy connected with a rapid mixing with air, a hydrogen gas... 

An upward propagation of flame curve can also be obtained by use of the modified Burgess-Wheeler law proposed by Zabetakis, Lambiris, and Scott... 

The effect of temperature on the upper limit of flammability may also be obtained from the modified Burgess-Wheeler law if we assume the heat release at the upper limit is equal to that at the lower limit. In this case, we have ... 

A plot of this equation ( modified Burgess-Wheeler law ) and that obtained by assuming a constant flame temperature at the lower limit are given in Figure 34 for upward propagation of flame. The data obtained by White with downward flame propagation are included for comparison.
