An impressive example of the impact of miniaturization on the explosion limit has been given for the oxyhydrogen reaction [18]. For a conventional reactor of 1 m diameter, explosive behavior sets in at 420 °C at ambient pressure (10 Pa). An explosion occurs at about 750 °C, when the reactor diameter is decreased to about 1 mm. A further reduction to 100 pm shifts the explosive regime further to higher pressures and temperatures. 

Explosion behavior depends on a large number of parameters. A summary of the more important parameters is shown in Table 6-6. 

Explosion behavior is difficult to characterize. Many approaches to the problem have been undertaken, including theoretical, semiempirical, and empirical studies. Despite these efforts, explosion behavior is still not completely understood. Practicing engineers, therefore, should use extrapolated results cautiously and provide a suitable margin of safety in all designs. 

The maximum rate of pressure increase indicates the robustness of an explosion. Thus the explosive behavior of different materials can be compared on a relative basis. The maximum rate is also used to design a vent for relieving a vessel during an explosion before the pressure ruptures the vessel or to establish the time interval for adding an explosion suppressant (water, carbon dioxide, or Halon) to stop the combustion process. 

The subscript in vessel is for the reactor or building. The subscript experimental applies to data determined in the laboratory using either the vapor or dust explosion apparatus. Equation 6-20 allows the experimental results from the dust and vapor explosion apparatus to be applied to determining the explosive behavior of materials in buildings and process vessels. This is discussed in more detail in chapter 9. The constants KG and KSt are not physical properties of the material because they are dependent on (1) the composition of the mixture, (2) the mixing within the vessel, (3) the shape of the reaction vessel, and (4) the energy of the ignition source. It is therefore necessary to run the experiments as close as possible to the actual conditions under consideration. 

Blowout panels are designed to provide the proper relief area, depending on a number of design factors. These include the explosive behavior of the dust or vapor, the maximum overpressure allowable in the structure, and the volume of the structure. Design standards are available.15...
