11.1. Problems

1. If the energy balance at the lower flammability limit (LFL) of a mixture of flammable and inert gas can be expressed as:

$x_{LFL}·H_{A,Fuel}+\left(1-x_{LFL}\right)H_{A,Inert}=x_{LFL}·H_G$

    where:

$x_{LFL}$ is LFL value of the fuel expressed in volume fraction.

$H_{A,Fuel}$ is the energy absorbed per unit volume of fuel.

$H_{A,Inert}$ is the energy absorbed per unit ...
