WHEN the two pressure limits, between which the normally slow combination of hydrogen and oxygen, at, say, 540° C., becomes explosive, were first discovered, the existence of the lower limit was ...

THE existence of an upper limiting pressure for explosion in thermal chain reactions has been explained in two ways. (1) The rate of branching of the chains, at the limit, is just sufficient to ...

Flammable range is defined as the percent of vapor in air necessary for combustion to occur and is referred to as the explosive limit. It is expressed on a scale from 0 to 100%. Explosive limits ...
