Lower detonability limit of hydrogen in a mixture of air and exhaust?

11 November 2018 1 489 Report

I would be grateful if somebody could guide me on the determination/calculation of lower detonability limit (18% by vol. with air) of hydrogen in a mixture of air and recirculated exhaust (40% EGR rate). Any paper highlight the effects of EGR rate (pressure and reactant temperature) on the lower detonability limits of hydrogen would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to download and review my research on hydrogen related explosion characterization parameters (MIE, MEC, LFL., MIT, ignition sensitivity (ES), etc. You can find this material under my profile in ResearchGate.net

Hope you find this information helpful and good luck!
