The presence of ethylene (C2H4) gas in a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) combustion process increases the severity of the dust explosion. Understanding dust explosion propagation as influenced by C2H4 concentration is important to characterise the severity of the LDPE dust explosion. Therefore, this...
