1) Draw a flamable triangle for a mixture M including Hydrogen and Ethane in which

Hydrogen makes up 45% mole.

2) Calculate the LFL, UFL and LOC values of the mixture.

The flamable triangle must be drawn accurately and each side of the triangle must have a
minimum length of 100mm.

Given the table of LFL, UFL and LOC values of Hydrogen and Ethane as following

LFL(%) in UFL(%) in LFL(%) in UFL(%) in

Component LOC(%)
Air Air oxygen oxygen
Hydrogen 4 75 5 4 94
Ethane 3 11 12 3 66

It is required that the LOC value of the mixture is calcuted according to the following
formula:

xA and xB are the mole percentage concentrations of the substances A and B respectively.

ZA (or ZB) is the number of moles of oxygen required to completely burn 1 mole of
substance A (or B) into CO2 and H2O

LOCA and LOCB are the LOCs of substances A and B, respectively.
