Abstract

We propose a unified model for the three branches of the explosion limits of an H2–O2 mixture. By using different expressions for the ignition delay time at each limit, and by utilizing the Le-Chatelier rule, we obtain an analytical expression for the ignition delay time of the mixture. We show that by solving the time delay equation for a selected typical ignition delay time we obtain a single expression for the Z-shape explosion limits.
