  • Title: A general model for predicting the flash point of miscible mixtures.
    Author: Liaw HJ, Chiu YY.
    Journal: J Hazard Mater; 2006 Sep 01; 137(1):38-46. PubMed ID: 16621255.
    Abstract:
    A mathematical model is presented for predicting the flash point of miscible mixtures. This model is reducible and adequate for some specified systems as proposed previously. Except for multiple aqueous-organic solutions, the predictive capability of the reduced form for other miscible mixtures, including binary aqueous-organic solutions and flammables-only analogues, has been verified previously. The model was validated using the ternary aqueous-organic solutions, water+methanol+ethanol/isopropanol. The results of the study confirm that the model predicts the flash points of these solutions by utilizing the flash points of the individual components. Further, if the binary interaction parameters for a ternary aqueous-organic solution are not accessible, a model based upon the binary interaction parameters of the binary solutions may provide a very acceptable means of predicting the flash point for such a ternary solution through comparison of the predicted and experimental data, as demonstrated in this study.
