Application of laboratory-scale determined KSt-values of metal dust to industrial scale processes

This paper presents a theory demonstrating that flame propagation rates in clouds of light metal dusts are expected to be scale-dependent and that a KSt-value determined in a 20-l sphere may underestimate dust explosion effects on an industrial scale. The paper also presents a review of large- scale...
