Estimation of closed cup flash points of combustible solvent blends

摘要

A simple formulation is developed for the accurate estimation of flash points of miscible combustible solvent mixtures. It consists of an equation, which was previously validated for pure compounds. It is shown that this procedure allows accurate estimations for ideal and nonideal binary and ternary mixtures. This method does not need prerequisites such as the lower flammability limits of pure components and the use of the Le Chatelier law. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
