Ethanol is an important bio-fuel [1]. It can be produced from agricultural feed-stocks, from forestry wood wastes and agricultural residues. The safe industrial use of this fuel needs explosion data as maximum pressure, maximum rate of pressure rise and burning velocity, which are the most important safety parameters for the assessment of process hazards and the safe design of process equipment. This preliminary work aims at studying the explosion behavior of pure ethanol and ethanolhydrogen in stoichiometric air at different initial temperatures. To this end, experimental tests were carried out in a closed cylindrical vessel.

Abstract

Ethanol is an important bio-fuel [1]. It can be produced from agricultural feed-stocks, from forestry wood wastes and agricultural residues. The safe industrial use of this fuel needs explosion data as maximum pressure, maximum rate of pressure rise and burning velocity, which are the most important safety parameters for the assessment of process hazards and the safe design of process equipment. This preliminary work aims at studying the explosion behavior of pure ethanol and ethanolhydrogen in stoichiometric air at different initial temperatures. To this end, experimental tests were carried out in a closed cylindrical vessel.
