Abstract

According to the logistic regression model based on statistical analysis, the experiments on the minimum ignition energy of different concentrations of nicotinic acid dust-air mixtures have been conducted in the Mike 3 tube by the calculation method of the minimum ignition energy of dust cloud which represented by probability, the volume of Mike 3 tube is 1. 28 L. Utilizing SPSS software, the minimum ignition energy of various concentrations of nicotinic acid dust cloud when the ignition probabilities are 10% and 50% has been calculated. The results show that the minimum ignition energy of nicotinic acid dust cloud has a tendency to first decrease and then increase with increasing concentrations, finally maintain at a certain energy range. Compared with other standard calculations, the viewpoint of ignition as a statistical phenomenon appears to be more consistent with the test data in engineering, it can also meet the needs of different production environments for security control.
