Estimation of the lower flammability limit of organic compounds as a function of temperature

Flammability limits: A review with emphasis on ethanol for aeronautical applications and description of the experimental procedure

“…Rowley et al [24] reported an estimation of the LFL of organic compounds as a function of temperature. This author showed that the LFL of general organic compounds may be accurately estimated from structural contributions and the heat of formation of the fuel.…”

Determination of upper flammability limits of C H O compounds in air at reference temperature and atmospheric pressure

“…In this sense, the method is similar to those based on the calculated adiabatic flame temperature that were developed for the determination of the LFL [17,18]. Also among these works, those by Rowley et al [19] and Mendiburu et al [20,16] can be considered.…”

“…Replacing those expressions into Eq. (19) and rearranging, the same expression shown in Eq. 26is obtained.…”

Research on the flammable characteristics of fluoroethane (R161) and its binary blends

“…Rowley et al (2011) predicted the LFLs of organic compounds based on the structural contributions and ideal gas heat of formation. Gharagheizi (2009) estimated the LFLs of 1057 pure compounds depended on a combination of the group contribution method and neural networks.…”
