Abstract
An experimental rig was constructed in order to study the inhibitory effects of two thermal inhibitors namely; stone and calcium carbonate, on Liquefied Petroleum Gas -air flames. This was achieved by measuring the flammability limits of the combustible mixtures before and after the addition of these inhibitors. It was found that calcium carbonate has superior inhibitory effect on the combustible mixture under investigation while, Stone has a lower inhibitory effect than that of calcium carbonate.
