预混乙炔-空气爆燃火焰在平板狭缝中传播与熄灭的实验研究

通过对预混乙炔-空气爆燃火焰在平板狭缝中的传播与熄灭过程进行试验研究,分析临界火焰传播速度、狭缝高度和熄灭长度之间的关系。实验结果表明,当狭缝高度一定时,临界火焰传播速度越大,熄灭长度越大,熄灭长度与临界火焰传播速度近似呈正比例关系。在相同的临界火焰传播速度条件下,随着狭缝高度的增加,熄灭长度值迅速增大,说明狭缝高度对预混火焰的传播与熄灭有显著影响。

Hele-Shaw通道内瓦斯爆炸火焰特性试验研究

为探究甲烷/空气预混气体当量比对Hele-Shaw通道内火焰爆燃特性的影响，自行设计搭建尺寸(长×宽×厚)为950 mm×200 mm×6 mm的透明有机玻璃瓦斯爆炸管道试验平台。通过改变试验平台厚度研究通道间隙对甲烷/空气预混气体火焰结构与传播特性的影响。结果表明，不同的通道厚度和当量比对火焰锋面结构和火焰传播动态特性有显著影响。当通道厚度为6 mm时，最大火焰传播速度发生在化学当量比下，为12.84 m/s,且在该工况下火焰最先到通道末端，时间为518.57 ms。当量比为0.8的贫燃状态时，在火焰不稳定性的作用下，火焰传播后期出现二次振荡现象及手指形的火焰锋面。随着通道厚度的减小，火焰到达通道末端的时间逐渐变长，对火焰整体传播速度有明显的抑制作用。

变截面管道中气云的燃爆传播研究

工业尾气回收网结构复杂,存在许多变径结构,回收气体大多燃易爆,因此有发生燃爆事故的风险.为探究变径结构对可燃气云燃爆过程的影响,在管长为0.5m变截面管道内,采用预混燃烧模型和Zimont湍流燃烧模型,对可燃预混气体燃爆特性开展了大涡模拟(LES)研究.结果 表明:在0.5m管长的通径管道内,管道截面越小,管壁对火焰的约束作用越大,壁面反射增强,管道壁面形成的湍流加速壁面附近的火焰传播速度,使得Tulip火焰出现越早,达到最大火焰传播速度的位置距点火端越近;管道截面越小,火焰厚度越大.不同管道结构下Tulip火焰结构不同,在突缩和连续突缩管道中Tulip火焰产生变形,火焰锋面不再光滑;变截面结构对火焰传播有激励作用,管道内截面变化后涡团的产生和演化加速了火焰传播,突缩管道结构对火焰传播有明显的加速作用,因此尾气回收管网设计需尽量减少突缩管道结构或在突缩管道结构位置增加阻火装置.     

Propagation and extinction of dust flames in narrow channels

This article has investigated the propagation and extinction of aluminum dust cloud flame in a narrow channel. The burned and burning dust particles act as heat sources and the channel walls act as heat sinks. In this method, discrete heat source has been used to analyze dust combustion in a narrow channel. Using the superposition of sources and sinks, the preheat zone temperature is predicted as an indicator of flame propagation or extinction. Dust concentration and channel width are two major parameters which affect the quenching distance and flame propagating speed. Wall temperature affects the heat loss; and by preheating the walls, quenching distance is reduced and flame propagation speed is increased.     

Large eddy simulation and experimental study of the effect of wire mesh on flame behaviours of methane/air explosions in a semi-confined pipe

Preventing the propagation of flames in a pipeline is an effective measure for avoiding gas explosion accidents and reducing losses. To evaluate the effect of wire mesh, acting as a porous media, experimental and simulation studies are conducted to determine the influence of the wire mesh on the dynamics of premixed methane/air flame propagation in a semi-closed pipe. Four different kinds of wire mesh with different numbers of layers are chosen in the experiments and simulation, and the mechanism of wire mesh quenching of the flame is investigated. The experimental and simulation results are consistent. Flames are quenched when 4 layers of 40-mesh or 3 layers of 60-mesh wire mesh are used; however, once the flame propagates through the wire mesh, the risk of methane combustion may increase. The wire mesh becomes the key factor causing flame folds and acceleration, and the greater the number of layers or the larger the mesh size is, the more obvious the folds after the flame passes through the wire mesh. Moreover, the combination of heat absorption and disruption of the continuous flame surface by the mesh causes flame quenching. Wire mesh can effectively attenuate the flame temperature during premixed flame propagation in a pipe, and the attenuated maximum rate reaches approximately 79% in the case of adding 3 layers of 60-mesh wire mesh.     

Effects of hydrogen addition on propagation characteristics of premixed methane/air flames

An experimental study has been conducted to investigate the effects of hydrogen addition on the fundamental propagation characteristics of methane/air premixed flames at different equivalence ratios in a venting duct. The hydrogen fraction in the methane–hydrogen mixture was varied from 0 to 1 at equivalence ratios of 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2. The results indicate that the tendency towards flame instability increased with the fraction of hydrogen, and the premixed hydrogen/methane flame underwent a complex shape change with the increasing hydrogen fraction. The tulip flame only formed when the fraction of hydrogen ranged from 0 to 50% at an equivalence ratio of 0.8. It was also found that the flame front speed and the overpressure increased significantly with the hydrogen fraction. For all equivalence ratios, the stoichiometric flame (Φ = 1.0) has the shortest time of flame propagation and the maximum overpressure.

A numerical method to predict flame fractal dimension during gas explosion

Accurate prediction of the flame propagation velocity during a gas explosion is essential to assess its consequences and to evaluate the risk level. The propagating premixed flame is self-turbulized due to the hydrodynamic instability, resulting in a fractal flame structure. It is therefore important for accurate prediction of flame speed to understand the flame’s fractal structure in detail and to predict its fractal dimension in particular. Numerical simulations of spherically-propagating flames have been previously attempted for such purposes. There are, however, difficulties to accurately predict the fractal dimension from the result of the numerical simulation of a spherically-propagating flame. In this study, we propose a method to easily predict the fractal dimension based on the numerical simulation of a planar flame. Planar flame propagation is simulated for different sizes of computational domain. The fractal dimension can be determined from the dependence of flame speed on computational domain size. The determined fractal dimension is favorably compared with previous experimental results.
