This communication presents newly developed mean-time-to-failure (MTTF) formulae for systems with Erlangian-distributed unit and common-cause times to failure. These systems are parallel, triple modular redundant (TMR), r-out-of-m, bridge, parallel-series and series-parallel.
Experimental data are presented which show how induction times to ignition in a nonadiahatic system decrease as Frank-Kamenetskii's dimensionless parameter ( ) is raised. The data were obtained from the spontaneous ignition of methyl nitrate vapor at very low pressure in a closed spherical vessel. H
