| Summary: | The value of the critical temperature (T<INF>c</INF>), 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<INF>c</INF> it has so far been necessary to measure the value in explosion experiments. Because of the inherent hazards, only few T<INF>c</INF> values are available at present. <P> Critical Temperatures for the Thermal Explosion of Chemicals introduces new and simple procedures to calculate the T<INF>c</INF>. As a result T<INF>c</INF> can be calculated for a range of chemicals, many of which are listed in this new volume. The calculated values of T<INF>c</INF> are shown to be in agreement with experimentally determined values. <P> 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. * Introduces new and simple procedures for calculating critical temperatures * Lists the T(c) values of chemicals in tables * Explains mathematical expressions in clear simple terms. |
