Abstract
This study was performed with Hartmann type dust explosion apparatus and Godbert-Greenwald furnace apparatus in order to research the effect of temperature and humidity affecting LEL, minimum ignition temperature of Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose. The experimental determinations in the range between $20^{\circ}C\;and\;60^{\circ}C$ of temperature was not affected $LEL(180g/m^3)$ but LEL showed $200g/m^3\;and\;250g/m^3\;at\;80^{|circ}C\;and\;100^{\circ}C$. As the change of humidity LEL was $180g/m^3\;for\;50\%,\;200g/m^3\;for\;60\%\;and\;250g/m^3\;for\;70\%$ but dust explosion didn't occur over $80\%$. The ignition temperature of HPMC dust clouds was increased as increasing of humidity. So, the minimum ignition temperatures at $50\%,\;60\%,\;70\%\;80\%$ of humidity was $363^{\circ}C,\;375^{\circ}C,\;397^{\circ}C,\;405^{\circ}C$.
