Abstract

Experimental investigations of autoignition and forced ignition of hardening oil (No. 70) in nitrogen-oxygen mixtures were carried out. It was ascertained that the mole fraction of oxygen decreased with the decrease in the mixture flow rate. Taking into account the fire hazard, the limiting mole fraction of oxygen was determined to be 4.7%.
