The maximum effective energy is the largest effective energy exhibited by a particular category of ignition source,such as the entire category of... 

The maximum effective energy of a static discharge can be compared with the MIE of a dust to determine whether ignition is probable, as discussed in Chapters 2 and 3. MIE test methods are described in S-5.4.2 and special considerations discussed in 6-1.3 through 6-1.5. At the time of writing, ASTM was close to development of a standard for dust MIE measurement. 

Minimum ignition energy (mj) Maximum explosion pressure (psi) " Maximum rate of pressure rise. (psi/s) Maximum oxygen concentration to preyent ignition (% by volume)... 

Optimum Mixture A specific mixture of fuel and oxidant that yields the most rapid comhustion at a specific measured quantity or that yields the lowest value of the minimum ignition energy or that produces the maximum deflagration pressure. The optimum mixture is not always the same for each comhustion property that is measured.
