Abstract

The study here presents data from the literature regarding the characteristic parameters of explosion propagation in gaseous ethane–air mixtures. The maximum explosion pressures, maximum explosion times, maximum rates of pressure increase, and deflagration indices from experimental measurements are discussed and analyzed against the initial pressure, initial temperature, and equivalence ratio, as well as the explosion vessel characteristics. Ethane is used for ethylene production, as a refrigerant in cryogenic systems, as an alternative clean fuel in the power generation industry and automotive propulsion, and for many other applications. Therefore, the explosion characteristics of its mixtures with air are of great interest for explosions occurring after accidentally forming flammable mixtures, as well as for the prediction of combustors’ performances and/or engines that work in different conditions.
