A Model of Explosive Vapor Concentration II

  • Conference paper

Abstract

A theoretical model which predicts the expected concentration of explosive vapor which might be available for detection in various scenarios was reported at a previous conference (Mannheim 1989). The results of this model have now been refined and the model extended to apply to other situations. A comparison has been made of the predictions of this model with experimental results obtained in a controlled experiment in a room-sized environment. The experimental results are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.
