A mathematical model which may be used for predicting the flash point of binary solutions has been proposed and subsequently verified by experimentally-derived data, such data pertaining to an almost-ideal solution as also to highly non-ideal solutions. The results reveal that the model is able to precisely predict the flash point over the entire composition range of binary solutions for both ideal solutions and non-ideal solutions by way of utilizing the flash point of the individual components. The highly non-ideal solution like octane+ethanol exhibits the minimum flash-point behavior, which leads to the minimum on the flash point vs composition curve. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
