Flame gas mixtures

O Why does line reversal occur l.l.l.l Flame Gas Mixtures. [Pg.25]

The autoignition temperature is the minimum temperature required for self-sustained combustion in the absence of an external ignition source. The value depends on specified test conditions. Tht flammable (explosive) limits specify the range of concentration of the vapor in air (in percent by volume) for which a flame can propagate. Below the lower flammable limit, the gas mixture is too lean to burn above the flammable limit, the mixture is too rich. Additional compounds can be found in National Fire Protection Association, National Fire Protection Handbook, 14th ed., 1991. [Pg.498]

Because this reaction is highly exothermic, the equiUbrium flame temperature for the adiabatic reaction with stoichiometric proportions of hydrogen and chlorine can reach temperatures up to 2490°C where the equiUbrium mixture contains 4.2% free chlorine by volume. This free hydrogen and chlorine is completely converted by rapidly cooling the reaction mixture to 200°C. Thus, by properly controlling the feed gas mixture, a burner gas containing over 99% HCl can be produced. The gas formed in the combustion chamber then flows through an absorber/cooler to produce 30—32% acid. The HCl produced by this process is known as burner acid. [Pg.445]

Flame plating (D-gun) employs oxygen and fuel gas. In this method, developed by the Union Carbide Corporation, the gas mixture is detonated by an electric spark at four detonations per second. The powders, mixed with the gas, are fed under control into a chamber from which they are ejected when detonation occurs. The molten, 14—16-pm particles are sprayed at a velocity of 732 m/s at distances of 5.1—10.2 cm from the surface. The substrate is moved past the stationary gun. [Pg.44]

The problem of flame arrestment, either of deflagrations or detonations, depends on the properties of the gas mixture involved plus the initial temperature and pressure. Gas mixture combustion properties cannot be quantified for direc t use in flame arrester selection and only general charac teristics can be assigned. For this reason, flame arrester performance must be demonstrated by realistic testing. Such... [Pg.2301]

Flashback tests incorporate a flame arrester on top of a tank, with a large plastic bag surrounding the flame arrester. A specific gas mixture (for example, propane, ethylene, or hydrogen at the most sensitive composition in air) flows through and fills the tank and the bag. Deflagration flames initiated in the bag (three at different bag locations) must not pass through the flame arrester into the tank. On the unpro-tec ted side, piping and attachments such as valves are included as intended for installation a series of tests—perhaps ten—is conducted. [Pg.2304]

The gas mixture in the stack is not flammable so that the flame cannot travel down the stack. [Pg.138]

Hydranlic flame arresters may fail to stop high flame speed gas mixtures nnder certain conditions. Fundamental test work (Overhoff et al. 1989) demonstrates mechanisms whereby liqnid seal arresters may fail to... [Pg.88]

The hole size used is larger than that necessary to quench a flame in a stagnant flammable gas mixture, i.e., larger than the quenching diameter. Howard recommends that the velocity necessary to prevent flashback be calculated by the following equation ... [Pg.96]

Liquid Seal A device for preventing the passage of flame by passing the gas mixture through a suitable liquid. See Hydraulic Flame Arrester. [Pg.204]

Hoff (1983) studied the effect of igniting natural gas after a simulated pipeline rupture by firing a bullet into the gas mixture. The tests were on a 10-cm diameter pipeline operating at an initial pressure of 60 bar and a gas throughput of 400,000 mVday. The openings created in the pipeline simulated full-bore ruptures. Maximum flame speeds of approximately 15 m/s, and maximum overpressures of 1.5 mbar were measured at a distance of 50 m. [Pg.75]

The total consumption type of burner consists of three concentric tubes as shown in Fig. 21.5. The sample solution is carried by a fine capillary tube A directly into the flame. The fuel gas and the oxidant gas are carried along separate tubes so that they only mix at the tip of the burner. Since all the liquid sample which is aspirated by the capillary tube reaches the flame, it would appear that this type of burner should be more efficient that the pre-mix type of burner. However, the total consumption burner gives a flame of relatively short path length, and hence such burners are predominantly used for flame emission studies. This type of burner has the advantages that (1) it is simple to manufacture, (2) it allows a totally representative sample to reach the flame, and (3) it is free from explosion hazards arising from unbumt gas mixtures. Its disadvantages are that (1) the aspiration rate varies with different solvents, and (2) there is a tendency for incrustations to form at the tip of the burner which can lead to variations in the signal recorded. [Pg.786]
