This paper presents a mathematical model whereby the flammable limits
for inerting and vacuum can be calculated from the known flammable
limits in air.
Results for flammability limits under vacuum: methane (0.168 bara),
propane(0.137 bara), heptane (0.101bara), methanol (0.106 bara),
toluene (0.129 bara), acetone (0.126 bara), acetic acid (0.131bara),
THF (0.115 bara), also contains some data on MOC for reduced pressure
atmospheres. Model seems to require flame speed.
