Modelling breakdown of industrial thermal insulation during fire exposure

The aging of many of the installations in the oil and gas industry may increase the likelihood of loss of containment of flammable substances, which could lead to major accidents. Flame temperatures in a typical hydrocarbon fire may reach 1100–1200 °C, which are associated with heat flux levels between 250 and 350 kW/m². To limit or delay the escalation of an initial fire, passive fire protection (PFP) can be an effective barrier. Additionally, both equipment and piping may require thermal insulation for heat or cold conservation. Previous studies have investigated whether thermal insulation alone may protect the equipment for a required time period, e.g., until adequate depressurization is achieved. The present study entails the development of a numerical model for predicting the heat transport through a multi-layer wall of a distillation column exposed to fire. The outer surface is covered by stainless-steel weather protective cladding, followed by PFP, thermal insulation, and finally an inner column of carbon steel of variable thicknesses. The model for the breakdown of thermal insulation is based on observed dimensional changes and independent measurements of the thermal conductivity of the insulation after heat treatment. The calculated temperature profiles of thermally insulated carbon steel during fire exposure are compared to fire test results for carbon steel with thicknesses of 16, 12, 6 and 3 mm. The model's predictions agree reasonably well with the experiments. The degradation of the thermal insulation at temperatures above 1100 °C limits its applicability as fire protection, especially for low carbon-steel thickness. However, the model predicts that adding a 10-mm layer of more heat-resistant insulation (PFP) inside the fire-exposed cladding may considerably extend the time to breakdown of the thermal insulation.     

狭长空间建筑内细水雾幕对顶棚射流火焰抑制效果试验研究*

为研究狭长空间内细水雾幕对顶棚射流火焰的抑制效果,通过全尺寸试验研究不同工作压力对射流火焰蔓延形态、雾幕隔热效果及烟气沉降的影响。研究结果表明:随着工作压力的增加,雾滴的动量随之增大,雾幕对射流火焰的扰动作用增强,强化雾幕对射流火焰的阻挡效果;同时,雾幕的隔热效率有明显改善,2.5 MPa时的细水雾幕的隔热效率可达0.75。然而,过大的工作压力会造成烟气层的沉降,工作压力大于2.0 MPa时保护区内烟气层高度低于1.8 m。因此,应综合考虑细水雾幕对射流火焰和烟气的作用,选择适当的工作压力。     

Highly efficient Zr doped-TiO2/glass fiber photocatalyst and its performance in formaldehyde removal under visible light

Zr-doped-TiO_2 loaded glass fiber(ZT/GF) composite photocatalysts with different Zr/Ti ratios were prepared with a sol–gel process. Zr4+can replace Ti4+in the TiO_2 lattice, which is conducive to forming the anatase phase and reducing the calcination temperature. The glass fiber carrier was responsible for better dispersion and loading of Zr-doped-TiO_2 particles, improving the applicability of the Zr-doped-TiO_2. The ZT/GF photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR), ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy(UV–vis) and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda(BJH). The performance of photocatalysts with different loading was evaluated in formaldehyde degradation under visible light at room temperature. ZT/GF0.2exhibited the highest activity, with a formaldehyde removal rate as high as 95.14% being observed, which is better than that of the photocatalyst particles alone. The stability of the catalyst was also tested, and ZT/GF exhibited excellent catalytic performance with 94.38%removal efficiency, even after seven uses.     

基于混合FE-SEA方法的加筋板宽频隔声预计

目的预测有限尺寸加筋平板结构宽频范围内的隔声特性,指导飞行器结构声学设计。方法基于混合FE-SEA方法,对单向加筋平板结构开展宽频隔声预计。同时,在标准声学试验室对其进行隔声测试,并将FE-SEA法预计结果与测试结果、SEA方法计算结果进行对比分析。结果与SEA法相比,混合FE-SEA方法在50 Hz~10 kHz频带内的预计结果与试验结果更为吻合,其更适用于宽频隔声预计;在400 Hz~10 kHz的中高频段内,FE-SEA方法预计结果与试验结果基本相同;在50 Hz~400 Hz的低频段内,FE-SEA方法预计结果略高于试验结果,且随频率降低,偏差会逐渐增大。结论进行加筋板结构声学设计时,为了获得精确的宽频隔声预计结果,可首先选用FE-SEA方法。FE-SEA方法预计结果在中高频段可直接使用,在低频段仅能作为参考,使用时应当进行修正。
