Thermodynamic analysis of the rich flammability limits of fuel-diluent mixtures in air. S.O. Bade Shrestha, I. Wierzba and G.A. Karim. Trans. ASME, J. Energy Resources Technol., September 1995, 117(3), 239--242.

The thermodynamic approach described allows the easy estimation of the rich flammability limits of various fuel diluent mixtures in air with a reasonable degree of accuracy. It is based on relatively simple assumptions, and only requires the knowledge of the rich flammability limit of the fuel component in air. Good agreement was found between calculated values according to this method and the corresponding experimental values available in the literature of the rich flammability limits of fuel-diluent mixtures that included methane, ethylene, ethane, propane, butane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide as fuels, and nitrogen, carbon dioxide, helium and argon as diluents. 12 refs.
