The project will develop test methodology for explosion indices al non-ambient conditions, a validated data base on them and on many other explosion indices as a function of pressure and temperature. Further, models will be developed, enabling prediction of behaviour of reactive systems and predicting explosion parameters.
In order to prevent incidents in the
industrial production of Teflon® from
Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE), the safety related
aspects of the self-heating process of TFE must
be taken into account. Simulations of this self
heating process were performed with COMSOL
Reaction Engineering Lab® and COMSOL®
COMSOL Multiphysics®. A complex reaction
net was employed, resulting in a model allows
for a good agreement with experimentally
achieved results.
