Abstract
In an earlier paper (Combustion and Flame19, 187 (1972)) Phillips described the ignition process that occurs when a transient of hot inert gas is ejected into a flammable atmosphere through the equatorial flange gap of an 8-litre sphere for the determination of the Maximum Experimental Safe Gap (MESG) for flameproof enclosure. The analysis of the mechanism of ignition is now extended to take into account changes in flange breadth, vessel volume, internal ignition position, oxygen concentration, humidity, pressure, and ambient temperature. The results of the calculations agree with experimental data.
