Another view of the upper and intermediate explosion limits of a H2–O2 system

In the present note we consider the two simultaneous mechanisms that are dominated by gas-phase reactions, namely the upper and intermediate explosion limits, and show that by employing the Le-Chatelier rule, a unified explosion limit is obtained in the form of a single analytical expression. •We st...

Description
Summary:In the present note we consider the two simultaneous mechanisms that are dominated by gas-phase reactions, namely the upper and intermediate explosion limits, and show that by employing the Le-Chatelier rule, a unified explosion limit is obtained in the form of a single analytical expression. •We study the upper and intermediate explosion limits of a H2–O2 system.•We assume the limits to be dominated by chain-carriers production/removal mechanism.•Using Le-Chatelier rule we obtain a single expression for the explosion limits.
