Self-Ignition Temperature of Heavy Fuel Oil dropped on the Surface of Heat Insulator

Abstract

This paper presents the useful experimental results of the self ignition temperature on no existence of the ignition source with regard to heavy fuel oil used mainly for the marine diesel engine. We compare these results with ones of gas oil and marine diesel oil.The ignition temperature of inflammable material is not a constant value. It depends on the characteristics of inflammable material, the mixing ratio with air, the surrounding air pressure, the shape and dimension of a heating body, a measuring apparatus and the method. The purpose of this study is to confirm the self
