森林可燃物的燃烧性和理化性质取决于构成森林的树种。该文对黑龙江省大兴安岭16个树种着火特性和成分进行了测定,分析了树种之间及树叶、小枝和皮之间在这些指标上差别,得出了反映树种之间及结构之间的一些规律,并对发热量影响因子进行了分析,建立了回归方程。这些为研究森林着火、蔓延、能量释放、火强度测算及防火树种筛选提供依据。     

木荷林带阻火性研究

采用锥型量热计和野外火烧试验方法研究木荷林带的阻火能力。锥型量热计采用75kW／m^2辐射强度、外部点燃条件下，测试木荷(Schima superba)与马尾松(Pinus massoniana)落叶的燃烧过程。结果表明，马尾松落叶的热释放速率峰值高(146kW／m^2)，能量释放快。木荷落叶燃烧缓慢且释放热量少。野外火烧试验对室内试验结果进行了验证。火烧前后分别测定木荷林带和马尾松林的可燃物分布，试验火以地表火为主，蔓延速度为2．2m／min，火线强度168～2961kW／m,有些地段由于可燃物较多，发生了树冠火，火焰高度达到8～8．5m，火线强度达24.881～28379kW／m。火烧后林带受害不严重，无树木死亡。试验证明，木荷林带可以有效阻隔地表火和树冠火的蔓延，浓厚树冠层也可以阻挡短距离的飞火。     

哈尔滨城市林业示范基地春季可燃物含水率动态研究

主要针对2011年冬季黑龙江省哈尔滨市地区降水过少而2012年春季极度干旱对森林可燃物含水率的影响进行研究。对在2011—2013年冬季反常气候影响下的黑龙江哈尔滨城市林业示范基地的樟子松、胡桃楸、白桦、蒙古栎林下可燃物含水率的动态变化进行了定点检测,并通过细致的分析发现随着气象条件的变化,不同森林可燃物含水率呈现出不同的变化趋势：樟子松林下可燃物含水率相比之下一直很高,胡桃楸林下可燃物含水率一直非常稳定,对环境条件的变化反映不太明显,而蒙古栎林下可燃物则处于中间,白桦林下可燃物对气象因子的变化最为敏感,上下波动很大。根据监测获得的数据对不同森林可燃物含水率和气象因子的关系进行了多元线性回归分析,并在符合一定条件的前提下建立了相对应的含水率预测模型,由于数据较少等原因,所得模型准确性有待验证,但是这也为哈尔滨城市林业示范基地森林含水率的预测奠定了基础。     

森林地表可燃物含水率与海拔关系研究

大兴安岭天然林保护工程重点区域,也是森林火灾频发的重灾区。收集测定了177组森林地表可燃物含水率数据,整理成列联表,进行列联表分析。结果表明,所研究区域的森林地表可燃物在低海拔含水率较高,随着海拔的升高,含水率呈现明显的降低趋势。研究结果可为进一步建立更加精确的大兴安岭林区森林地表可燃物含水率预测模型提供理论基础,对于该林区火灾预防工作意义重大。     

广西苍梧马尾松林和大叶栎林的火行为比较

马尾松(Pinus massoniana)是中国南方大面积造林的树种,也是抗火能力最弱的树种。研究了广西苍梧11龄马尾松用材林和4龄大叶栎萌芽林在正常冬季和干旱夏季情景下的火行为,用behaveplus计算了火线强度、蔓延速度、树冠火可能性等参数。结果表明,两种林分在干旱夏季的火行为高于在正常冬季的火行为。无论是在正常冬季还是在干旱夏季,都没有出现马尾松可燃物模型的火行为一致高于大叶栎可燃物模型的情况;天气、地形、可燃物床结构对可燃物含水率有很大影响,而含水率是火行为的决定因素。虽然大叶栎被划分为难燃树种,大叶栎萌芽林的火行为高于成年大叶栎乔木林,苍梧大叶栎萌芽林在极端干旱的夏季情景有被火把点燃的可能性。如果将大叶栎萌芽林作为防火林带使用,需要经常清除林下枯枝落叶,割除黑莎草,减少细小可燃物。     

森林特殊火行为格局的卫星遥感研究

由于多变的天气条件,复杂的地形和植被分布,引起火行为格局的变化,借助GIS和卫星遥感技术,以1987年大兴安岭5．6大火为对策,进行火行为变化规律和火行为的时空格局研究,环境风对火行为具有决定性作用,大风期间火强度极高,过火区为火蔓延的廓道,较大的山脉对林火有阻隔作用,森林采伐改变可燃物连续性,可以改变火行为,人类扑火对大火作用不明显,小地形可产生不同火烧强度的细微结构。     

一种预测森林可燃物含水率的方法

可燃物含水率的大小,特别是细小可燃物含水率的大小决定了森林燃烧的难易程度,为了预测森林可燃物的含水率,对东北林区的落叶松,白桦和柞树的细小可燃物的含不率变化进行了研究,并利用多元统计方法建立了各种可燃物的含水率与其相关因子的回归模型,从而在国家级森林火险预测预报系统吵实现了通过获取气象因子来预测森林可燃物含水率的设计思想。     

冰雪灾害对川南森林可燃物的影响

冰雪灾害是影响森林的一个重要气象干扰因素,并会引起生态系统中其他次生干扰。研究冰雪灾害对森林可燃物的影响,提出可行的灾后可燃物管理技术将为今后应对类似的极端气候事件提供科学依据。基于对川南典型森林雪灾后受损情况调查,定量分析雪灾对各类可燃物的影响。按不同森林类型和受灾强度测定林分基本特征和各类可燃物载量,地表可燃物载量调查采用线状相交可燃物调查方法。结果表明：森林受害程度与树种、林龄、海拔、地形等因素有关,针叶林和针阔混交林树冠受损程度为5%~45%,阔叶林树冠受损程度为3%~8%。雪灾引起的主要是较大径级可燃物载量显著增加,径级≥7.0cm的可燃物占可燃物增量的48%~100%。灾后阔叶林地表径级可燃物载量达1.75 kg/m2,其他林分为0.18kg/m2~0.55 kg/m2。雪灾还改变可燃物空间分布,大量断枝和折断树干增加了可燃物垂直分布连续性,地表火更容易发展为树冠火。受灾严重的林分郁闭度下降,也会引起林下草本增加,有利于火灾的发生与发展。建议对受灾林分的地表可燃物清理以人工或机械清理为主。

水分影响下阴燃传播及气相反应发生的研究

为了解阴燃传播及其反应状态发生变化的特点,采用一半干燥一半加湿的聚氨酯泡沫材料进行实验。在自然对流条件下,阴燃由下到上从干材料传播到湿材料。各次实验中阴燃在干材料部分都保持稳定传播,而湿材料部分所设计的含水率则从8.4%到21.7%。水分的吸热作用使阴燃状态随含水率大小发生极大的变化。在含水率较小时,阴燃仍能继续传播但温度和速度都有所下降;含水率稍大时,阴燃反应受到抑制,在内部有氧气剩余的情况下则会发生气相反应;当含水率进一步增大,阴燃就会熄灭。如果阴燃能传播到材料末端,外界的大量氧气进入阴燃区将使其向明火发生转化。     

局部扰动对主坑道爆炸波发展的数值模拟与实验研究

在地下建筑物,如隧道、地下储油库、人防工程、地下物资仓库等里面,由主通道旁结分支通道是最常见的一种布置形式,是一种典型的复杂受限空间结构.一旦有可燃气体发生爆炸燃烧,爆炸压力波和火焰的传播将受众多因素的影响,其中局部扰动的影响是主要因素之一.本文通过实验和数值模拟的方法研究了油气混合物在该复杂受限空间中由弱点火引起爆炸燃烧的发展过程,湍流强度经旁接分支坑道后在主通道中的变化,以及爆炸压力波和火焰经局部扰动后的变化过程;并将数值模拟结果与实验结果进行了对比和综合分析,得到了与地下受限空间安全相关的重要结论.湍流强度是复杂受限空间中可燃气体爆炸燃烧发展过程的主要影响因素之一,局部扰动将增强爆炸流场的湍流强度,加速燃烧化学反应,能量的释放量和速率大大提高.这些能量的快速加入促进了高峰值压力波的形成,火焰也被加速,爆炸从此由弱转强,出现跃升.研究结果对地下受限空间爆炸过程的进一步研究以及爆炸灾害的预防都有参考价值.

为了探明外部条件对玉米淀粉粉尘爆炸特性参数的影响,利用20 L球形爆炸装置进行试验测试,探讨了点火能量及粉尘含水量对粉尘爆炸特性的影响,对比研究了CaCO_3和Al(OH)_3两种惰性介质的抑爆效果。结果表明:随点火能量增加,粉尘最大爆炸压力和最大升压速率呈线性上升,在高质量浓度下,粉尘爆炸压力受点火能量的影响更显著;添加CaCO_3和Al(OH)_3能够降低玉米淀粉的爆炸压力,相对于CaCO_3的物理抑爆,Al(OH)_3的物理-化学抑爆效果更佳;玉米淀粉粉尘的最大爆炸压力及爆炸升压速率随粉尘含水量降低而不断增大。     

热颗粒和热辐射共同作用阴燃点燃松针燃料床：数值研究

Gas explosions caused by gasification of condensed phase combustibles

For reasonable explanation about recent accidental gas explosions caused by condensed phase combustibles occurred in Japan, the processes of such gas explosions have been investigated. When the combustible is of condensed phase at its initial state, gasification is necessary to form a flammable mixture causing a gas explosion. The process of gasification characterizes such a gas explosion. When the combustible is RDF (refuse derived fuel), the temperature was inferred to spontaneously increase. Also, the flammable gas should be generated within a confined high temperature region in the pile and come through a low temperature layer without combustion. The growth of a flammable layer after gasoline is spread over floor is analytically evaluated. The flame propagation through the flammable layer established over the floor enhances the pressure enough to break the structure of the office. Long-term heating is inferred to cause ignition of dried garbage, and the mechanism of flammable gas generation would be similar to that in the case of the RDF explosion. For prevention of losses at accidental explosions caused by gasification of condensed phase combustibles, understanding of the phenomena is the most important.     

Experimental study on inert products,moisture, and particle size effect on the minimum ignition energy of combustible dusts

Handling combustible dusts not only continues to pose a risk to industry but can also affect the safety of society. Explosion risk could be avoided or mitigated trying to guarantee inherent safety throughout the product life chain. One way to reduce the risks when dealing with combustible dust is to increase the Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) in order to decrease combustible dust ignition sensitivity. To achieve this decrease, the inertization technique, also known as moderation, will be used. It consists of adding inert powders or humidity to the combustible dust. As sometimes end-users also must deal with the handling of flammable dusts, this study aims to find the most optimal inert for toner waste from printers and Holi powder (organic coloured dust from Indian parties), taking Lycopodium as a reference. Calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and gypsum are proposed as inert materials. In addition, with the aim of giving a second use to biomass boiler waste or boiler slagging, this waste will be analyzed as inert, as well as how humidity affects the combustible dusts. Then, sodium bicarbonate will be tested at different granulometries to evaluate the effect of particle size on moderation process. The tests were carried out in the modified Hartmann apparatus or MIKE 3.0. Mechanisms such as decomposition of inert dust have been analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)). The results show that gypsum and moisture are the best performing inert followed by calcium carbonate. Boiler slagging and solid bicarbonate contribute to a decrease in the MIE in some of the tests. The reasons for this deviation are discussed in the presented article. When sodium bicarbonate is analyzed at different particle sizes, it is found that the optimum particle size does not match the particle size of the combustible dust. According to the tests, there is an optimum point for which the inert powder provides better results.     

Investigation of the Fushun ASU explosion in 1997

On the 16 May 1997 an explosion occurred at the Fushun Ethylene Complex, in Fushun, Liaoning province, China. The explosion source was located in the distillation column of the air separation nunit of the complex. The explosion was extremely severe causing the death of four people, injuring four severely and 27 slightly, and causing extensive material damage.A number of possible pollution sources was investigated. The remains of the low pressure column and of the main vaporiser were reassembled. A model was developed to understand ignition of aluminium when polluted by combustible material in liquid oxygen. Laboratory tests were made on ignition of polluted aluminium in LOX. Ethylene dispersion in the atmosphere was also modelled.It can be concluded that the accident resulted from an exceptional pollution peak due to venting of ethylene during a shut down of the ethylene oxide plant, together with a temporarily low liquid level in the main vaporiser of the air separation unit at reduced load.The hydrocarbon pollutant acted as an igniter, the actual fuel was aluminium. Calculations show that a few hundreds grams of ethylene were able to ignite more than 1000 kg of aluminium in liquid oxygnen, multiplying the explosion energy by more than 1000.     

Theoretical evaluation of lower explosion limit of hybrid mixtures

Lower explosion limits of hybrid fuel mixtures are usually determined through time consuming and expensive experiments. Although, mathematical expressions like Le-Chatelier's Law and Bartknecht curve have been used by many researchers to predict the LEL of hybrid mixtures, significant deviations remain unexplained. This research work, presents a more sophisticated and general approach for the determination of LEL of hybrid mixtures.Assuming that the combustion kinetics of pure species are independent and unchanged by the presence of other combustible species, complete conversion of the reactants and no heat losses, a simple mathematical model has been derived from the enthalpy balance of the whole system. For the experimental validation of the modelled values, modified version of 20L sphere has been employed, following the European standard (EN 14034-3: 2011) as experimental protocol. Hybrid mixtures of three dusts with two gases were selected for the scope of this publication. By analyzing the modelled as well as the experimental values, it can be concluded that the LEL values of the individual components in the hybrid mixture set the upper and lower limit for the LEL of the hybrid mixture provided the total amount of fuel in the system is considered as the concentration of the hybrid mixture. Moreover, the amount of dust or gas required to render the hybrid mixture flammable mainly depends on the energy contribution upon combustion of the individual species to raise the temperature of the whole system from ambient to the flame temperature.Le-Chatelier's Law and Bartknecht curve are empirical relations, which might hold true for a first-order approximation of LEL of hybrid mixtures, but do not represent the most conservative values of LEL reported in literature. This implies that there is a non-zero probability of occurrence of an explosible mixture in the non-explosible concentrations ranges defined by these relations. Considering these arguments, the authors suggest to employ the model presented in this paper – which presents reasonably conservative values of LEL of hybrid mixtures – for theoretical calculation of LEL of hybrid mixtures, when no precise experimental data is available.     

干水在热环境中的持续作用效果研究*

为研究干水对建筑火灾中高聚物燃烧产生的热危害和烟气危害的影响,采用火焰传播量热仪（FPA）模拟建筑火灾扑灭后的持续热环境,对灭火过程中过量施加的干水对可燃高聚物的持续作用效果进行研究。结果表明:干水能够明显提升可燃物的抗复燃性能以及削弱燃烧过程中的热危害和烟气危害;相比于纯燃料,干水作用下可燃物的点燃时间出现明显的延迟,并且热释放速率和一氧化碳生成速率明显降低,尤其在可燃物燃烧初期,干水还具有显著的抑制烟气生成速率的效果。研究结果可为灾后消防人员的搜救和被困人员的逃生提供一种新的技术方案。     

The effect of moisture content within multilayer protective clothing on protection from radiation and steam

The moisture from skin sweat and atmospheric water affects the thermal protective performance provided by multilayer protective clothing. Four levels of moisture content were selected to evaluate the impact of moisture on thermal protection under dry (thermal radiation) and wet (thermal radiation and low-pressure steam) heat exposure. Also, the role of moisture and its relationship with exposure time were analyzed based on skin heat flux and Henriques integral value. The addition of moisture to a fabric system was found to result in differences in second-degree and third-degree skin burn times. When moisture is added to a fabric system, it both acts as a thermal conductor to present a negative effect and provides a positive effect owing to thermal storage of water and evaporative heat loss. The positive or negative effects of moisture are mainly dependent on the thermal exposure time, the moisture content and the presence of hot steam.
