Calculating the lower explosive limit (LEL) for a gas mixture using the LELs of individual components is complex and not straightforward. While experimental determination of the mixture's LEL is the most reliable method, some suggest that analyzing the partial pressures of each gas in the mixture could provide insights into the air/fuel ratios. However, this approach may not accurately predict ignition potential due to the complexities of reaction kinetics. For more detailed guidance, consulting specialized literature, such as Section 2.3 of a referenced technical report, may be beneficial.
