The potential explosion for low-density polyethylene (LDPE) dust is greatly increased due to the presence of ethylene gas. Thus, this study was aimed to investigate the explosion severity of polyethylene/ethylene hybrid mixture in a 20-L spherical vessel. The explosion setup is equipped with two che...
