    Limiting oxygen concentration for selected gases and two inerts (volume percent oxygen) [3] Gas or vapor Nitrogen / Air Carbon dioxide / Air Hydrogen: 5 5.2 Methane: 12 14.5 Ethane: 11 13.5 Propane: 11.5 14.5 n-Butane: 12 14.5 Isobutane: 12 15

  3. Reduced properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_properties

    In thermodynamics, the reduced properties of a fluid are a set of state variables scaled by the fluid's state properties at its critical point. These dimensionless thermodynamic coordinates, taken together with a substance's compressibility factor , provide the basis for the simplest form of the theorem of corresponding states .

  4. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    energy/volume of the fuel; There are two kinds of enthalpy of combustion, called high(er) and low(er) heat(ing) value, depending on how much the products are allowed to cool and whether compounds like H 2 O are allowed to condense. The high heat values are conventionally measured with a bomb calorimeter. Low heat values are calculated from high ...

  5. Cubic equations of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_equations_of_state

    In that situation, the reduced cubic equation of state yields 3 solutions. The largest and the lowest solution are the gas and liquid reduced volume. In this situation, the Maxwell construction is sometimes used to model the pressure as a function of molar volume.

  6. Chemical oxygen demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_oxygen_demand

    In the process of oxidizing the organic substances found in the water sample, potassium dichromate is reduced (since in all redox reactions, one reagent is oxidized and the other is reduced), forming Cr 3+. The amount of Cr 3+ is determined after oxidization is complete and is used as an indirect measure of the organic contents of the water sample.

  8. Redlich–Kwong equation of state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlich–Kwong_equation_of...

    p is the gas pressure; R is the gas constant, T is temperature, V m is the molar volume (V/n), a is a constant that corrects for attractive potential of molecules, and; b is a constant that corrects for volume. The constants are different depending on which gas is being analyzed. The constants can be calculated from the critical point data of ...

  9. Glossary of fuel cell terms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_fuel_cell_terms

    Electrochemical gas sensors are gas detectors that measure the volume of a target gas by oxidizing or reducing the target gas at an electrode and measuring the resulting current. Electrode An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte or a vacuum).
