Document Summary

Inerting is a process of adding inert gas to a combustible mixture to reduce the oxygen concentration to below the limiting oxygen concentration. Loc for many gases and dusts are approximately 10% and 8%, respectively. Usually 4% below approach is used, e. g. for gases, oxygen concentration is often brought to 6% (for loc = 10%: vacuum purging. Usually used for small vessels since large vessels are not designed for vacuum. Total number of moles of gases at high and low pressures (ph and pl) n. The mole fraction of o2, yo, at pl of the first cycle is the same as that at the beginning at ph since both oxygen and other gas were evacuated at the same time. However, when the vacuum is relieved by adding n 2 to get the gas back to ph, the mole fraction of o2 decreases to y1: n y .
