Hazards caused by leakage of hydrocarbons have long been a problem. In this paper, the critical initiation energy and explosion limits of some hydrocarbon-air mixtures have been measured in confined (rectangle shock tube) and unconfined (plastic bag) condition tests. Two dimensionless parameters are suggested to compare the fire and explosion hazards of different hydrocarbons. Additionally, a s...

There have been no reports of serious adverse reactions with the use of topical ivermectin in a limited number of patients (i.e., fewer than 400).1,2 Ivermectin 0.5% lotion does not have the neurotoxicity concerns of lindane or the flammability concerns of malathion (Ovide).2,3 The safety of the lotion has not been established in patients younger than six months, and use in this age group is no...

Polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam is a robust thermal insulation material utilized widely in the modern construction. In this work, flammability of one representative example was studied systematically using experiments and modeling. The decomposition analyzed through thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, microscale combustion calorimetry. transport properties pyrolyzing were...
