Selected aliphatic alcohols as flammable liquids and the determination of their lower explosive limits

The explosion Chamber VK 100 is introduced in the paper, in which we determined the lower explosive limits (LEL) of selected aliphatic alcohols as flammable liquids methanol, ethanol, 1-butanol. First, the calculations of the volume of flammable liquid necessary for setting of LEL were carried out. Next, the lower explosive limit of methanol, ethanol, 1-butanol was carried out experimentally. All three aliphatic alcohols (methanol, ethanol and 1-butanol) are considered as fuels.
