Description
The value of the critical temperature (Tc), below which the thermal explosion of a chemical cannot occur, is indispensable
to prevent such a chemical from exploding. In order to determine the Tc it has so far been necessary to measure the value
in explosion experiments. Because of the inherent hazards, only few Tc values are available at present.
Critical
Temperatures for the Thermal Explosion of Chemicals introduces new and simple procedures to calculate the Tc. As
a result Tc can be calculated for a range of chemicals, many of which are listed in this new volume. The calculated values
of Tc 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.
Audience
Students, researchers and engineers in (industrial) chemistry and chemical engineering

closed container of the corresponding shape and size, and placed in the atmosphere under isothermal conditions.
Chapter 7. Procedure
to perform the adiabatic oxidatively-heating test in order to calculate ultimately the heat generation data of a gas-permeable oxidatively-heating
substance.

explosive of the true AC type, having an arbitrary shape and an arbitrary size, confined in an arbitrary closed container of the corresponding
shape and size, and placed in the atmosphere under isothermal conditions.
Chapter 10. Procedure to calculate the SADT for a powdery
chemical of the quasi-AC type, having an arbitrary shape and an arbitrary size, confined in an arbitrary closed container of the corresponding
shape and size, and placed in the atmosphere under isothermal conditions.
