Generation, ignition, combustion and explosion of sprays and mists of flammable liquids in air. A literature survey

摘要

The spray/mist explosion hazard is illustrated by reported accidents. Experimental and theoretical studies of generation and physical behavior of spray/mists, of ignition and flame propagation, including detonation, and of diagnostic methods in experimentation, are reviewed. Some topics requiring further investigation are mentioned. 247 refs.
