Description
The value of the critical temperature (T
c), below which the thermal explosion of a chemical cannot occur, is indispensable
to prevent such a chemical from exploding. In order to determine the T
c it has so far been necessary to measure the value
in explosion experiments. Because of the inherent hazards, only few T
c values are available at present.
Critical
Temperatures for the Thermal Explosion of Chemicals introduces new and simple procedures to calculate the T
c. As
a result T
c can be calculated for a range of chemicals, many of which are listed in this new volume. The calculated values
of T
c are shown to be in agreement with experimentally determined values.
The data and methods presented in
Critical
Temperatures for the Thermal Explosion of Chemicals will be of use to research laboratories as well as in the chemical industry.
