METHOD FOR PREDICTING FLAMMABILITY LIMITS OF COMPLEX MIXTURES

This invention is directed to a method for predicting the flammability of complex mixtures using critical variables of structural groups comprising training data from the critical variables of each structural groups, the critical variables comprising compositional and thermochemical data from each of the structural groups to produce a neural network model; testing the trained data from the neural network model; and validating the trained and tested data from the neural network to accurately predict the flammability limit of an analogous complex mixture having similar structural groups.
