GAS-L: Self Ignition Teperature of Producer Gas

["N.Selvakumar \(PE/PPP\)" <selva@me.iitb.ac.in>]

Dear All,
        What will happen if I mix hot Producer Gas (Temperature of gas
around 400-450C) with air (room temperature).
1. Presence of H2 specie in producer gas will self ignite the gas at what
   temperature.
2. The dilution ratio of gas to air 3 to 5 (by volume), will this
   dilution ratio avoid self ignition (Since stochiometric A/F ratio for
   Producer gas is 0.98 by volume). Mixing of air to hot producer gas in
   this range of dilution ratio will avoid danger of explosion, Am I
   correct?..

What I have doubt is
Fundamentals of premixing of high temperature producer gas with room  
Temperature of  air.

I welcome all healthy discussion.


With Regards,
Selvakumar
