• Definition: The flash point of a liquid is the lowest
temperature at which it gives off enough vapor to form an
ignitable mixture with air 1.
• The vapor will burn but only briefly; inadequate vapor is
produced to maintain combustion 1.
• The lower flammability limit corresponds to the liquid-
vapor equilibrium 2.

No theoretical method has been developed to estimate the flash
temperature in spite of the several correlations. The QSPR is probably the
closest approach in the theoretical approach which could overcome the
lack of information in particular for new compounds. In this work, it was
observed that experimental values seem to behave according to the
typical straight line proposed in several correlations. However, it has not
been possible to distinguish the independent variables affecting the real
flash temperature value. Chemical characteristics are combined here with
physical properties to improve the estimated flash temperatures.
Considering that the liquid molecules should be evaporated to burn, the
vaporization change of enthalpy ( ) is included in our models. In addition,
the inclusion of heat of combustion ( ) in the model incorporates a
chemical behavior of the molecules. Thus, the thumb rule is expanded to
include the dimensionless group ( ). Given the lack of experimental data,
the number of components used to produce the new correlation is rather
reduced but the results are enhanced and the required properties can
easily be predicted in a process simulator such as ASPEN
