    2021, 40 (8):  1109-1113. 
    Abstract ( 1623 )  

    Research on the effect of air flow with diffusion flame characteristics of laminar jets under microgravity can provide theoretical support for fire detection in aerospace research. A short-term (3.6 s) microgravity experiment was conducted in the Drop tower facility of the National Microgravity Laboratory of China to obtain the characteristics of methane flames under different coflowing air speeds. Preliminary drop tower experimental results showed that characteristics of laminar jet diffusion flames could be affected by low air flow velocities in microgravity environment. The phenomenon of flame oscillation couldn't be observed in microgravity with coflow velocities of 0~0.5 m/s, the luminous flame length and diameter decreased with coflow velocity increasing, but the luminous flame diameter didn't change significantly compared to luminous flame length; the radiative heat loss fraction for the methane-fueled flames in microgravity decreased with coflow velocity increasing, and the radiative heat loss fraction was much larger for flames in microgravity than in normal gravity.

    Study on the unsteady combustion characteristics of transformer oil pool fire

    CHEN Qing, JING Wei-wei, WEI Chao, CHEN Peng
    2021, 40 (8):  1114-1117. 
    Abstract ( 1643 )  

     In order to study the unsteady combustion characteristics of transformer oil, a experimental platform for transformer oil combustion was set up. The influence of oil pool diameter on the unsteady combustion of transformer oil was systematically analyzed, and the influence of different oil pool diameter on combustion rate and flame fluctuation frequency was studied qualitatively and quantitatively. The results show that the combustion process of transformer pool fire can be divided into three stages: initial growth stage, full development stage and attenuation stage. The fully developed stage can be divided into quasi steady combustion stage and boiling combustion stage according to the characteristics of combustion rate. The combustion rate increases with the increase of oil pool diameter. In the quasi steady combustion stage, the flame pulsation frequency is negatively correlated with the oil pool diameter. The larger the oil pool diameter is, the smaller the flame pulsation frequency.

    Experimental study on horizontal fire spreading of polyurethane foam under ambient wind

    WAN Lu-lu, MA Xin, WANG Jing-wei, LIU Tian-hao
    2021, 40 (8):  1121-1124. 
    Abstract ( 1599 )  
    In order to explore the influence of ambient wind speed on horizontal downstream fire spread of polyurethane foam, several groups of comparative experiments were carried out to analyze the influence of different lateral wind speeds on typical characteristic parameters of fire spread (flame shape, mass loss, near-field temperature and radiation). The experimental results showed that lateral wind speed can shorten the formation time of preheating angle of pyrolysis front, and the preheating angle is negatively correlated with wind speed. The reduction of preheating angle will increase the heat feedback area of flame front to preheating area and increase the fire spread speed. The flame front is affected by air entrainment under the direction of lateral wind speed stretching effect, and the melting dripping frequency increases during the fire spreading process, which increases the risk of secondary fire. At the same time, the mass loss rate of materials increases with the increase of wind speed in the process of fire spread. The cooling effect of wind speed is dominant in the early stage of fire spread, but it will still promote the fire spread speed, and the radiation peak difference between the up and low sides of the horizontal plate gradually increases.

    Study on the fire characteristics and smoke hazards of typical transformer oils

    CHEN Tao, WANG Yu-wei, ZHANG Jia-qing, GUO Yi
    2021, 40 (8):  1125-1129. 
    Abstract ( 1873 )  

    The fire characteristics and fire hazard of typical transformer oils were measured by a cone calorimeter and cone calorimeter-Fourier transform infrared spectrometer under three different external radiative heat fluxes. The difference of combustion process and fire hazard of KI25X and KI50X transformer oils with different freezing point were studied. The results show that both the external radiative heat fluxes and the type of transformer oils affect the fire characteristics and fire hazard. With the increase of the external heating radiation flux, the ignition time of the two transformer oils were shortened, and the HRR, smoke generation rate and the peak concentration of the main toxic component CO in the flue gas increased accordingly.When the external radiative heat flux was increased to 35 kW/m2, compared with KI25X, the fire spread speed of KI50X transformer oil was faster and its toxic gas concentration released was higher. So its thermal and smoke risk was higher than KI25X at this time.

    Effects of crystallized fire proof material on the fire resistance of concrete

    WANG Wei, FANG Zhong-nian
    2021, 40 (8):  1137-1141. 
    Abstract ( 1575 )  

     In order to study the influence of expansive crystallized fireproof materials on the fire resistance of concrete, four kinds of crystallized fireproof coatings (1%,2%,3%,4%)were designed to improve the fire resistance of concrete. The mass, permeability and mechanical properties of concrete specimens were tested, and the microstructure was studied by SEM. The results showed that the combustion test caused serious damage to concrete, and the mass loss rate decreased first and then stabilized with the increase of the concentration of fire retardant coating. When the concentration of fire retardant coating is 0~3%, the seepage height of concrete decreases with the increase of concentration, and the variation range is small after more than 3%. The surface protection accelerates the formation of early strength of concrete, and the strength of concrete after 28 days of curing is almost not affected by the concentration of fire retardant coating. The pore structure of concrete surface was changed by crystalline fireproof coating, and the coating with 3% and 4% concentration forms a continuous crystal film structure.

    Abstract ( 1635 )  

    In order to explore the influence of different tunnel smoke exhaust modes on subway evacuation in the case of platform fires, an island-style subway station was used as a prototype, and Pyrosim was used to establish a fire model, and the wind speed at the escalator entrancesmoke temperature, CO volume fraction and visibility were analyzed. The results show that: a single tunnel smoke exhaust mode can't meet the requirements of safe evacuation; within 360 s of evacuation time, at the human features eye height, the visibility of the evacuation area in the station tunnel smoke exhaust mode cannot meet the evacuation requirements, CO volume fraction, temperature, and the wind speeds at the escalator entrance meet the requirements for safe evacuation; the wind speeds at the escalator entrance under the three tunnel smoke exhaust modes cannot meet the requirements for safe evacuation of people. The push-pull reverse smoke exhaust mode of the section tunnels is the most unfavorable for the heat dissipation of the smoke in the evacuation area. The double-pull smoke exhaust mode has the most significant smoke exhaust effect; among the three potential hazards that can affect evacuation caused by fire smoke, it is more difficult to meet the visibility within a safe range than temperature and CO volume fraction.

    Abstract ( 1569 )  
    In order to study the mechanical, thermophysical properties and micro characteristics of slag concrete under high temperature conditions, the compressive strength, mass loss rate, DSC thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy of slag concrete under different temperature conditions are measured or made. The results show that as the temperature continues to rise, the heat change law of slag concrete shows a trend of first decreasing, then increasing, and then decreasing. When the temperature is less than 500 ℃, the FTIR curve of slag concrete changes basically the same. But when the temperature is higher than 500 ℃, the FTIR curve of slag concrete shows obvious changes within the wave number of 750~620 cm-1

    Abstract ( 1568 )  

    In order to compare and analyze the degradation law of mechanical properties of three kinds of confined recycled concrete columns (spiral reinforced recycled concrete column, square steel tube recycled concrete column and circular steel tube recycled concrete column) after high-temperature water spraying cooling, 36 specimens were designed to carry out axial compression loading test after high-temperature water spraying cooling with section type, temperature and recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate as variable parameters. The whole failure process of the specimens was observed, and the differences of ultimate bearing capacity, initial axial compression stiffness and ductility of the three kinds of confined recycled concrete columns after high temperature water cooling were compared and analyzed. The results show that: with the increase of the maximum temperature, the ultimate bearing capacity, initial axial compression stiffness and ductility of recycled concrete columns with various constraints are degraded to varying degrees, and the degradation range of circular steel tube recycled concrete columns is the smallest and more stable. The ductility of recycled concrete-filled square steel tubular columns increases with the increase of temperature. With the increase of replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate, the ultimate bearing capacity, initial axial compression stiffness and ductility of square steel tube and round steel tube specimens first decrease and then increase, and the fluctuation range is -15.3%~2.3%, while the influence of replacement rate on spiral reinforced concrete column specimens is relatively small, and the variation range is 0~12.9%.

    Research on uniform exhaust of rail-top heat exhaust system of subway station and cooperative smoke exhaust system for platform fire

    QIU Shao-hui, CHE Lun-fei, LIU Yu-sheng, YANG Chen-lei
    2021, 40 (8):  1161-1165. 
    Abstract ( 1600 )  

    Fluent was used to analyze the uniform exhaust generated by the adjustment of the 45° built-in regulating valve at the rail-top hot air outlets of the 6-section and 8-section subway stations and the coordinated smoke exhaust effect under the platform fire condition. The research results showed that the exhaust air volume of the rail-top heat exhaust system increases with the increase of exhaust air pressure after the two types of stations are adjusted by the regulating valve at the rail-top hot exhaust outlet. The total exhaust air volume formed by the regulating valve at the rail-top hot air outlet is higher than that formed by the flapper valve under the same exhaust pressure.When the regulating valve is used, the unbalance rate between the outlet can be kept within 5%, which can realize uniform air exhaust.While the unbalance rate of the outlet is more than 20% when the flapper valve is used, and the balance of the air volume between the outlet cannot be achieved. When a fire occurs on the platform of the two types of stations, by the rail-top uniform heat removal system with regulating valve, each stairway of the station platform can form the blocking air flow that is not less than 1.5m/s to prevent the smoke from spreading upwards, the air volume at the exhaust outlet on the top side of the rail does not exceed the maximum allowable smoke exhaust, which meets the relevant requirements of the specification. Cooperative platform fire smoke exhaust program is effective and feasible.

    2021, 40 (8):  1169-1173. 
    Abstract ( 1593 )  

    The premixed flame fueled with propane was simulated by computational fluid dynamics. The effects of slit size, initial wall temperature and initial flame velocity on the quenching length are studied when premixed flame propagates in an equilateral triangular slit, and fitting calculation formula of quenching length is gotten. The results show that the size of the slit, the initial temperature of the wall and the initial velocity of the flame are positively correlated with the quenching length. With the increase of flame initial velocity, quenching length increases slowly. At higher initial flame velocity, the size of the slit is the main factor affecting the quenching length. According to simulate data, a more accurate formula for quenching length calculation is fitted.

    Numerical simulation of fire smoke density jump downstream of ceiling barriers in narrow and long passageways

    CHEN Yi-lei, YANG Dong
    2021, 40 (8):  1178-1183. 
    Abstract ( 1592 )  

    During the process of density jump in fire smoke, the ambient air will be entrained in, with the smoke layer thicken obviously, and the mass flow increased, moreover, which will increase the difficulty of evacuation and rescue, and affect the effectiveness of smoke control design. In order to clarify the mechanism and harm of the density jump of smoke layer, the influence of the top obstacle on the density jump of the downstream smoke layer during the horizontal spread of fire smoke along the ceiling was studied by numerical simulation. The results show that without the effect of the top barrier, the density jump of smoke cannot be caused by increasing the heat release rate alone. However, the barriers of the ceiling will suddenly change the flow state of the smoke layer, consequently the density jump occurs. And the change of smoke layer thickness and entrainment mass flow rate is related to the height of obstacles. The gradient Froude number is proposed as the dimensionless number to judge the density jump of smoke layer and to measure its effect.

Secondly, effects of different nozzle diameters, atomization angles, spraying pressures and double nozzle intervals on water spraying inhibition are studied by four factors and three levels orthogonal experiments. Results show the importance ordering of 4 facts is: water spraying pressure>nozzle intervals>atomization angle>nozzle diameter. The optimal configuration of the water spraying device is: nozzle diameter 0.3 mm, atomization angle 90̊, water spraying pressure 10 MPa, nozzle interval 26 cm. When the device started to run , the ammonia concentration can be significantly reduced to 2.16% within 1.8 s.

    2021, 40 (8):  1213-1216. 
    Abstract ( 1625 )  

    In order to solve the accuracy problem of absolute angle detection of fire monitor in rotation, a method of detecting absolute angle rotation of fire monitor by Hall rotation sensor is proposed. This method mainly uses GD32F103 microcontroller as the main controller. Two DC brush motors are used as actuators to realize the free rotation of fire monitor in the specified area of horizontal and pitching directions. The Hall rotation sensor P3022-V1-CW360 is installed on two DC motors respectively. The Hall rotation sensor will output the detected signal as a voltage value. After the A/D conversion of the main controller, the corresponding DC motor angle rotation value will be output. Finally, the absolute angle value of the fire gun rotation is converted by calculation. The results show that the fire monitor with DC motor has large driving torque, which is suitable for large flow fire extinguishing. By installing Hall rotating sensor on DC motor, it not only reduces the trouble of wiring and clutter like traditional Hall devices, but also has higher sensitivity and high measurement accuracy.

    Abstract ( 1576 )  

     The film-forming method is used to break through the traditional process and effectively combine SiO2aerogels, phase change materials and textile materials to prepare lightweight and high-performance insulation films. By changing the process parameters that directly affect the thickness of the film, such as the thickness of the blade, the speed of the blade, the ratio of absolute ethanol and distilled water, etc., the thermal insulation film with different thickness and performance parameters can be obtained. The rules of the thermal protective performance of multilayer fabrics with the film are revealed. Effects of process parameters on thermal protective performance of firefighters' protective materials are evaluated. The results show that the second-degree skin burn time increases first and then decreases with the increase of the film thickness and the scraper speed. As the theoretical thickness is 500 μm or the scraper speed is 50 mm/s, the best thermal protective performance of multilayer fabrics is obtained. And as the ratio of anhydrous ethanol and distilled water is 5:3, the best thermal protection is given. The research results obtained in this paper provide necessary theoretical basis for scientific and rational design and preparation of high performance thermal insulating film and development of lightweight thermal protective clothing with excellent performance.

    Effect of trace Fe3+ on kinetics of thermal  decomposition of dicumyl peroxide
    QIN Zhi-yi, FU Shi-jun, LIU Hui-ping, LIU Zhang-rui
    2021, 40 (8):  1232-1235. 
    Abstract ( 1586 )  


    In order to study the effect of trace iron ions (Fe3+) on the thermal decomposition kinetics of Dicumyl Peroxide, the thermal decomposition characteristics of DCP containing trace Fe3+ under isothermal and dynamic heating conditions were measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and the results were analyzed by kinetic analysis software(Kinetics Neo), and compared with the corresponding results of pure DCP. The results of isothermal DSC showed that the decomposition process of the two samples followed the n-order kinetic law; the dynamic DSC test results showed that the presence of trace Fe3+ has little effect on initial decomposition temperature(T0) and peak temperature (Tp) of DCP, but has great influence on average specific heat release (ΔHr). For example, theΔHrof DCP containing Fe3+ was 745.4 J/g, but that of pure DCP was 977.1 J/g. Kinetic Neo software analysis results show that the kinetic parameters obtained by Friedman method and model fitting method are similar. Based on the kinetic parameters of thermal decomposition obtained by the model fitting method, the temperature corresponding to the maximum reaction rate reaching time (TMRad) of the two samples under adiabatic condition was predicted. The results showed that, compared with that of the chemical pure DCP, the temperature corresponding to different TMRad of DCP containing Fe3+ decreased obviously.

    Abstract ( 1603 )  

     In this paper, an experimental system was designed and set up to investigate the relationship between the filling pressure of FK-5-1-12 and the response of suppressing class B fire, which composed of a experimental device of suppressingclass B fire with FK-5-1-12 and collection device of exhaust.The pressure in fire-extinguishing bottle, pressure at nozzle, mass flow of FK-5-1-12, fire-extinguishing time and the exhaust composition were measured respectively at the different filling pressure of fire-extinguishing bottle. The HF content in the exhaust was measured by Ion chromatography method and the other gas component was measured by GC-MS. The results showed that the mass flow rate increased as the filling pressure was increased from 1.5 MPa to 4.2 MPa.The increment of mass flow was about 30% when the filling pressure was between 1.5 MPa and 2.5 MPa. That growth rate was about 5% when the filling pressure was between 2.5 MPa and 4.2 MPa.The HF quantity inexhausted was decreased by 40% at the same time. Besides,the hexafluoropropylene, heptafluoropropane, perfluoropropane, perfluoroheptane were detected inexhausted.

    YAN Wei, YU Lan-fang, CAO Chun-hong, SHI Tian-tian
    2021, 40 (8):  1239-1242. 
    Abstract ( 1635 )  

     Six kinds of bio-foams (labeled as GG, GY, GZ, PG, PY and PZ successively) were designed and fabricated by using the mycelium of Ganoderma lucidum and Pleiatus ostreatus with the plant debris mainly composed of fruit trees, poplar and bamboo, and the fire resistance characteristics were studied. The results showed that, the carbon formation rate and flammability of bio-foam GG and PY were preferable. After 33 s, the heat release rate reached the peak value of (204.46±11.38) kW/m2. The total heat release showed a trend of fast to slow with time. After 540 s, the production of CO increased rapidly. And the smoke production was evidently at initial phase for the antiflaming of mycelium. The fire resistance of mycelium bio-foam is comparable to or even better than that of general thermal insulation foam, and its flame retardancy needs to be improved furtherly.

    SUN Zhuo-er, ZHOU Yang, LI Yang
    2021, 40 (8):  1259-1261. 
    Abstract ( 1630 )  

    The copper conductor primary short circuited melted marks will change to some extent after being affected by high temperature in fire. With the help of synchronous thermal analysis technology (TG-DSC), the heating temperature is accuratelycontrolled, the O2/N2 atmosphere changes in the fire are simulated, the types and initial temperatures of various physical and chemical reactions of the melted marks are analyzed according to the TG-DSC curve, and assisted in judging the causes of the tissue changes. The results show that the melting point of the primary short circuited melted mark is 1 062 , then the mark will melt and lose its characteristic structure. In the fire atmosphere, when the heating temperature reaches 850 , the oxidation reaction will occur, and the black oxide particles and the outer ring oxidation belt will be produced. With the increasing of temperature, the annular oxidation zone will be thickened and the black oxide particles will concentrate to the grain boundary. The research results have certain theoretical reference for the accurate inspection and identification of the copper conductor primary short circuited melted marks and the analysis of its heat process in fire.
