Experimental Study of Oil Shale and Olive Cake Dust Explosion by Burning Mixtures of Coarse and Fine Particles
Abstract:
The inhibition effect of using different mixtures of coarse and fine particles of oil shale and olive cake solid fuels were investigated. Measuring the maximum permissible oxygen concentration that is required to ignite the mixtures of each type of fuel was carried out. In general, it was found that olive cake might be ignited easier, than oil shale fuel over all mixtures range of coarse and fine particles. Further, it was found that the mixture with 30% coarse particles is the most probable to explode among all other particle sizes for both oil shale and olive cake.
