mixtures at the same turbulence intensity. Figure 15.10 shows that if the Karlovitz number is increased,
by increasing the turbulence level in the combustion chamber, then the product KLe will also increase:
this makes it more likely for the flame to be extinguished. Hence, there is a limit to how much the lower
flame speed caused by a weak mixture can be compensated by increasing the turbulence level: at some
point misfire will occur.
Flammability limits were introduced in Table 15.1, where they were listed with the explosion
limits. The flammability limit of a mixture is defined as the mixture strength beyond which, lean or
rich, it is not possible
