I'd like to know, for H2 / O2 / inerts, how temperature affects the LEL and the MOC.
I have found a general equation, but I wonder if H2 could behave specially, as often ? I am speaking of 250°C.

LEL/LFL is the concentration at which a conflagration/detonation will occur when exposed to a source of ignition. A source of ignition is automatically at elevated temperature. The LEL would be at any temperature, and if your concentration is below the LFL, you can't ignite it anyway.
