细水雾与油雾火焰相互作用的实验及数值模拟研究

开展了细水雾抑制熄灭燃油油雾火的实验研究,并在试验研究的基础上,利用大型计算流体力学商业软件模拟研究细水雾与油雾火焰的相互作用。研究表明,细水雾熄灭油雾火的机理是降低可燃物与氧气混合浓度比和动力学效应、火焰冷却与衰减热辐射。在细水雾与油雾火焰相互作用动态过程中模拟计算与实验有一定程度的吻合;模拟计算表明细水雾有效灭火的前提是快速穿透火焰。     

细水雾扑灭油池火的临界条件

通过模拟灭火实验发现细水雾灭火过程中由于雾特性参数的变化而形成两种相异的灭火过程,进而通过理论分析与计算得到了细水雾通过火焰冷却扑灭油池火所需的临界条件,并通过实验室尺度实验与全尺度实验对计算结果进行了验证．在实验中还发现对于下喷式系统而言,细水雾能否穿透烟气羽流层对于细水雾系统能否灭火具有至关重要的影响,为此引入了烟气羽流与细水雾的推力比这一概念,并通过实验确定了采用下喷方式时,细水雾灭火的临界推力比大致为10．     

细水雾作用下气体射流火焰熄灭的临界条件

设计了开放空间条件下细水雾扑灭气体射流火的模拟实验,发现可燃气体流率大小和火焰上升力大小都直接影响了灭火成功与否,进而通过理论分析和计算分别得出了细水雾灭射流火的临界条件,细水雾的吸热功率大于11%～15%射流火的火源功率时可实现灭火,射流上升力与细水雾下压力的比值小于1.0～2.8时细水雾也能够通过克服火焰上升力进而实现灭火,实验结果也显示,相同气体流率情况下气体射流上升力与细水雾下压力的比值越大则灭火时间越长.     

受限空间中细水雾灭火的准稳态模型

通过受限空间中大量细水雾灭火实验，总结出预测细水雾系统灭火效果的准稳态模型。该模型是针对细水雾扑灭有障碍火的情况而发展的，火焰的熄灭主要是由于燃料燃烧耗氧和细水雾汽化稀释造成氧气浓度的降低而导致的，忽略了细水雾与火焰的直接作用，模型基于能量守衡，要求输入以下参数：火源功率、受限空间的几何结构、通风口面积和细水雾施加流量，通过模型预测出稳态时受限空间的温度和氧气浓度，进而可以确定临界火源的尺度(功率大小)，同时能准确预测较大功率范围火的熄灭时间。     

细水雾灭油池火过程中火焰强化现象的实验研究

细水雾灭火初期,在短时间内会观察到剧烈燃烧的火焰强化现象。设计了多组实验对比不同燃料在不同工况下的火焰强化现象,发现液滴通过撞击油盘燃料引起的液滴飞溅可以增大燃料与空气的接触面积,强化火焰燃烧。细水雾在燃料内发生扬沸也可能强化火焰,但增益效果不明显,同时燃料气化率对于火焰强化程度有很大关系。     

超细水雾熄灭甲烷火焰的临界灭火质量浓度

利用发展的临界灭火质量浓度预测模型,分别在1600K和1700K两种燃烧极限温度下对超细水雾和水蒸气的临界灭火质量浓度进行计算,并采用FLUENT软件开展具有详细化学反应的数值模拟.模型采用1600K得出的理论结果与模拟结果、前人实验结果均较为接近;通过对比理论结果与模拟结果,发现超细水雾冷却在灭火作用中的效果稍高于水蒸气,但却远低于水;模拟发现在火焰温度降低到1600K以下时,才可实现稳定灭火,这对于消防工程中火焰熄灭温度的选取具有一定理论指导作用.     

细水雾抑制气体扩散火焰的机理研究

应用三维LDV／APV系统和热成像方法，测量了细水雾和气体扩散火焰作用过程中的细水雾雾场、火焰温度场并研究了细水雾和气体扩散火焰的作用过程．探索了细水雾抑制火焰的机理和规律，比较了细水雾抑制气体扩散火焰时3种主要灭火机理，用数据定量表征了细水雾灭火时，水雾的蒸发潜热吸热作用、热容吸热作用以及稀释氧气作用对抑制气体扩散火焰所做的贡献，细水雾直接喷射或被卷吸进入火焰内部时，由于表面积大，吸收热量快，迅速汽化，体积扩大。大量的汽化潜热会降低火焰区及气相燃料的温度，细水雾及其蒸汽吸收部分热辐射，降低对燃料的热回馈，减少其汽化蒸发，从而降低反应区的可燃气体积分量。这些因素都会大大降低化学反应速度，抑制火灾的发展，直至扑灭火灾。     

细水雾抑制淬火油池火的小尺度实验

通过小尺度模拟实验对两种不同喷头所产生的细水雾抑制熄灭淬火油池火的研究发现,细水雾施加之初对淬火油池火有明显的强化作用,粒径和速度较大的细水雾强化燃烧的程度较大但持续的时间较短,且粒径和速度较大的细水雾抑制熄灭淬火油池火的效率较高.实验观测和分析表明,粒径和速度较小的细水雾主要通过卷吸空气强化燃烧,其灭火机理主要是火焰冷却和燃料表面冷却,粒径和速度较大的细水雾则主要通过共沸强化燃烧,其灭火机理主要是燃料表面冷却.     

受限空间内细水雾抑制熄灭火焰过程中一氧化碳的生成率

细水雾抑制熄灭火焰过程中一氧化碳的浓度是评价细水雾灭火系统安全可靠性的一个重要参数.本文通过受限空间内细水雾抑制熄灭障碍火的模拟实验研究,发现细水雾抑制熄灭火焰过程中一氧化碳生成率存在两种控制模式,即燃料控制模式和细水雾流量控制模式.实验结果表明,在燃料控制模式下,一氧化碳生成率随着燃料流量的增大而增大;在细水雾控制模式下,一氧化碳生成率随着细水雾流量的增大而增大.为了获得两种控制模式的临界转变条件,对燃料控制模式和细水雾控制模式的临界工况进行水蒸气含量分析.通过理论分析,得到一氧化碳生成率控制模式转变的水蒸气含量临界范围与 Suh and Atryeya 理论基本一致,即空气中水蒸气质量分数达到25%~65.5%时,水蒸气对火焰的作用从化学作用转为物理作用,一氧化碳生成率控制模式开始转变     

水与K_2CO_3的协同灭火作用

实验研究了惰性灭火介质水与化学灭火介质的协同灭火作用.通过测定纯水、含K_2CO_3添加剂细水雾及K_2CO_3干粉的最小灭火浓度,分析了水与K_2CO_3的结合对两者单独使用时灭火有效性的影响.结果表明:含K_2CO_3添加剂细水雾可以分别提升纯水与K_2CO_3干粉的灭火效能,并且灭火效能随着溶液中K_2CO_3含量的增加而增强.水与K_2CO_3在火焰温度下发挥协同灭火作用的实质是水蒸气的存在对K_2CO_3有一定的活化作用,使其更容易在平衡产物中生成大量的灭火活性物质KOH.     

A numerical simulation of the suppression of hydrogen jet fires on hydrogen fuel cell ships using a fine water mist

In this paper, in order to evaluate the reliability of a fine water mist for the suppression of fires on hydrogen fuel cell ships, the fire dynamics simulator (FDS) software was used to simulate the jet fire process and the action of a fine water mist on a fire caused by a hydrogen leakage in the hydrogen storage tank areas of hydrogen fuel cell ships. The fire scenario was classified into vertical or horizontal jet fires according to the location of the leakage in the hydrogen storage tank area, and the suppression effects of a fine water mist on hydrogen jet fires under a different droplet size, spray velocity, and ambient wind speed were compared and analyzed. The results indicate that a fine water mist is not effective in extinguishing hydrogen jet fires; however, by selecting suitable parameters (a spray velocity of 30 m/s and average droplet size of 30 μm), it can effectively reduce the fire field temperature of hydrogen jet fires and prevent the fire from developing further. Increasing the average droplet size of the fine water mist results in a gradual degradation of the suppression effect, while a higher spray velocity of the mist enhances the suppression effect to a certain extent. The ambient wind speed is an important factor that influences the suppression effect of a fine water mist on hydrogen jet fires, and when this speed is less than 4 m/s, a fine water mist with a higher spray velocity and smaller average droplet size is still a superior way of suppressing fires.     

Experiment and prediction of fire extinguishment with water mist in an enclosed room

The correlation between oxygen concentration and fire temperature when fire was extinguished with water mist was theoretically studied. The Semenov theory was applied to analyze the critical condition when fire was extinguished with water mist, from which the correlation could be obtained. The water mist experiments were carried out by varying the fire size, atomizer number, ceiling height, system pressure, and pre-burn time in an enclosed room. The oxygen concentration near the edge of the liquid pool and the fire temperature above the center of the liquid pool were measured. A comparison of the experimental data with the correlation was made under different conditions. The results showed that fire extinguishment was a stochastic process which could be affected by many factors. This theoretical model could predict the correlation between fire temperature and oxygen concentration when fire was extinguished with water mist in an enclosed room and it can also be treated as a critical condition for fire extinguishment.

Fire extinct experiments with water mist by adding additives

The effects of fire extinguishment with water mist by adding different additives were studied.Tens of chemical substances (including alkali metal salt,dilution agent and surface active agent) were selected as additives due to their different extinct mechanisms.At first the performance of fire extinguishment with single additive was studied,then the effects of the same kinds of chemical substances under the same mass fraction were compared to study their influences on the fire extinguishment factors,including extinct time,fire temperature and oxygen concentration from which the fire extinct mechanism with additives could be concluded.Based on this the experiments were conducted to study the cooperate effect of the complexity of different additives.It indicated the relations between different firefighting mechanisms and different additives were competitive.From a large number of experiments the extinct mechanism with water mist by adding additives was concluded and an optimal compounding additive was selected.     

Experimental evaluation of water mist with metal chloride additives for suppressing CH4/air cup-burner flames

In order to investigate the fire suppression effectiveness of water mist with metal chloride additives, ultrafine water mists of these salts with diameters about 10μm were introduced into CH4 /air non-premixed flame in the cup burner. Results showed that these droplets hard to make itself to the flame front under the cup burner flow conditions functioned as a carrier of the vaporized solid particles or its decomposed materials. The metal chloride improved fire suppression efficacy of water mist which were affected by the type and concentration of metal chloride. On a mass basis, there is a fire suppression effectiveness relationship of MgCl2 相似文献   

A Zone Model in Simulating Water Mist Suppression on Obstructed Fire

A zone model is proposed for studying the obstructed fire suppression by a total flooding water mist system in a chamber with different ventilation conditions. This is a one-zone thermal model mainly for simulating scenarios where oxygen consumption and dilution by water evaporation are the main fire extinguishing mechanisms. The water flow rate and volume mean diameter of a droplet has been used to characterize the water mist system. The fire is taken as a heat source, and its heat release rate is related to oxygen consumption. Mass and energy conservation equations for gaseous species in the enclosure under fire have been solved. Fire suppression is predicted by investigating the limit of oxygen concentration. Numerical results are verified by two sets of experiments on water mist fire suppression system reported in the literature. The predicted results agreed qualitatively with the experiments. In addition, the predicted results by this model are also compared with other existing models. Factors affecting the fire extinguishment mechanism are analyzed, and the limitations of the model are discussed.
