Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the ignition characteristics of combustible liquids that are in widespread use as fuels and solvents and are encountered as process fluids in the chemical and process industries. Ignition leads to flaming combustion in which the fuel undergoes a change of state and is converted from liquid to vapor.

Fußnoten
1
There are exceptions to this generalization. High molecular weight liquids with high flashpoints (e.g., cooking oil, flashpoint 321 °C) will be undergoing some chemical decomposition at temperatures associated with vapor formation.
 
2
The third line in Fig. 18.1, below the intersection at T, represents the equilibrium states between solid and vapor. Solid converts directly to vapor by the process of sublimation. It will not be considered further here.
 
3
The numerical value of R depends on the units used for P and V (see Chap. 5).
