Research on suppression of polypropylene dust explosion by melamine polyphosphate WANG Bao1,2, JIANG Bing-you1,2, SU Ming-qing3, YANG Bing-hui1,2 2022, 41 (3):  291-295.  Abstract ( 1873 )   The explosive characteristics of polypropylene (PP) dust and the restraining effect of melamine polyphosphates (MPP) on polypropylene dust explosion were studied by using a 20 L spherical explosive device. The results show that the explosive strength of polypropylene dust with the mass concentration of 300 g/m3 is the highest, the maximum explosive pressure is 0.746 MPa, the maximum explosive pressure rising rate is 60.508 MPa/s, and the maximum explosive index is 16.398 MPa·m/s. With the increase of the mass fraction of MPP powder, the maximum explosion pressure, the rate of increase of the maximum explosion pressure and the explosion index of polypropylene dust decreased continuously. When the mass fraction of MPP powder in the mixture is 70%, the explosion of polypropylene dust with a mass concentration of 300 g/m3 is completely inhibited. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the addition of MPP powder increased the decomposition temperature and thermal stability of polypropylene. Combined with the test results of thermal analysis, the explosive suppression mechanism of MPP powder was discussed, and the analysis showed that MPP powder had physical and chemical inhibition effects.

Ignition characteristics of finite thick PMMA exposed to thermal radiation ZHU Zhi-xuan, GONG Jun-hui 2022, 41 (3):  304-309.  Abstract ( 1613 )   Influence of sample thickness and four prescribed constant heat fluxes on surface temperature, mass loss rate, ignition time and critical temperature of clear PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) was investigated. Inversing modelling was utilized incorporating experimental measurements to determine the thermodynamics and kinetics of PMMA, which were employed as inputs of the numerical model to simulate the other scenarios. Accuracy and reliability of the numerical model were verified by comparing with experimental results and analytical correlations. The results showed that the declining rate of the ignition time decelerates with increasing heat flux. When the thickness of PMMA was less than 3 mm, the surface temperature and mass loss rate decrease with increasing thickness. As the thickness gets larger than 3 mm, the average ignition temperature was （628±20） K, and no sensible dependency on thickness was detected, indicating that the ignition temperature can be employed as ignition criterion.

Study on the characteristics of external overpressure induced by vented hydrogen deflagrations CHEN Ye, LI Yi, LI Zi-ting, JI Chao 2022, 41 (3):  310-315.  Abstract ( 1703 )   The existing researches mainly focus on the development of internal pressures in the confined space during hydrogen explosions, and the studies about the distribution law and evolution mechanism of external overpressure during vented hydrogen explosions are still not enough. Therefore, a commercial FLACS was used to establish the numerical model of the chamber, the vent size was increased to 3.14 m2 and the maximum hydrogen concentration was increased to 30%, then numerous simulations were conducted to study the formation of the external explosion, the distribution rule of the external overpressure and the hazard scope. The effect of factors on the external overpressures during vented hydrogen deflagrations was also analyzed. The results show that when the vent size becomes relatively large, the vented hydrogen deflagration will lead to the formation of the external combustible gas cloud with a larger volume. Then the cloud is ignited by the emerging flame to produce an external explosion, and the whole formation process of the external explosion can be effectively simulated by FLACS. When the vent size is large, the maximum overpressures at different positions exhibit monotonic behavior as hydrogen concentrations increase, but a non-monotonic behavior of the change rate of overpressure between different positions near the vent opening as a function of hydrogen concentration is found. For the different ignition locations, maximum overpressures near the vent opening are distributed in different shapes of wedge, but the distribution modes of the hazard scope are totally different, the external overpressure and hazard scope with the back ignition are larger than those with the center ignition.

Experimental study on fire suppression of ternary lithium-ion battery by water mist with additive WANG He1,2, ZHU Shun-bing1,2, ZHANG Yu-hang1,2 2022, 41 (3):  319-324.  Abstract ( 1798 )   Through self-built lithium-ion battery combustion and fire extinguishing platform, taking the ternary lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide battery as the research object, the fire test of ternary lithium-ion battery by water mist with additive was carried out, the mechanism and effect of solution fire extinguishing were analyzed comprehensively from the aspects of solution surface tension, battery maximum temperature and cooling rate, etc. In the test, the heat abuse method was selected, and a heating furnace was used to heat the ternary lithium-ion battery to cause thermal runaway combustion, and a high-definition camera recorded the whole process. Six kinds of additives including sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and carbonamide were selected for single and compound solution water mist fire extinguishing test. The surface tension of each solution was measured, and its change with the concentration of the solution and its influence on the fire extinguishing performance were analyzed. It was found that the surface active agent could reduce the surface tension of the solution, thereby improving the atomization effect of water mist.When the surfactant tends to be saturated, the surface tension of the solution remains basically stable. A K-type thermocouple was used to measure the temperature during the thermal runaway of the ternary lithium-ion battery and the water mist fire extinguishing process, and the measured characteristic parameters such as the highest temperature and cooling rate of the battery were compared and analyzed. The result shows that, compared with pure water mist, the fire extinguishing performance of the additive-containing water mist is improved greatly in atomization effect, diluted oxygen concentration, and blocking the combustion reaction chain, and the battery does not reignite.The best mass fraction of single additive water mist with sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and carbamide to suppress the fire of ternary lithium-ion battery is 1.5%, 1%, 8%, 10%, 10%, 0.3% respectively. Compounding on this basis, it was found that the single extinguishing effect of potassium chloride and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate was better than the combined solution, the fire extinguishing effects canceled each other out. Coordination of surfactants, alkali metal salts and three additives that are easily decomposed by heat can improve the fire extinguishing efficiency effectively, the mixed solution of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (1.5%), potassium chloride (10%) and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (10%) had the best fire-extinguishing effect. The compound solution works synergistically through various mechanisms such as reducing the surface tension of the solution, reducing the particle size of fine water mist droplets, and combining ionized metal ions with free radicals in the combustion chain, absorbing a large amount of heat, thereby obtaining better fire extinguishing effect.The article carried out relevant experiments on the suppression of thermal runaway fires in ternary lithium-ion batteries with fine water mist containing different additives. In future research, more additives of different types and concentrations can be selected for compounding experiments considering fully from the perspective of high efficiency and environmental protection, and the advantages and disadvantages of various fire extinguishing agents, to provide support for lithium-ion battery fire protection technology.

In addition, three calculation models of tunnel lining concrete compressive strength, fire temperature, and ultrasonic sound velocity in the range of 200~800 ℃ under different fire time have been established.

Study on longitudinal temperature distribution of spill fire plumes along sloped facade wall of building fires ZHANG Xiao-chun1, CHENG Zhang-kun1, WU Bin-bin2, CHEN Qin-pei3 2022, 41 (3):  330-333.  Abstract ( 1629 )   Building fire is one of the most important research fields in fire science, and the temperature distribution of the spill plume along the facade is very important for the risk assessment and prevention design of the building. Although many scholars have studied the vertical temperature distribution of spill plumes on vertical facade, there are few studies on temperature distribution along sloped facade. This paper aims to reveal the characteristics of longitudinal temperature distribution of spill plumes along the sloped facade in building fire, and establishes a predicted correlation for the temperature distribution along sloped facade. Based on Froude similarity theory, a 1∶2 medium-scale-combustion chamber was built in the FDS to carry out numerical simulation research. The validation of the numerical model was confirmed through mesh sensitivity test and the comparison with experimental data. The dimensions of the combustion chamber were 3.78 m2.36 m1.6 m. A variable-angle concrete slab (2.36 m in length and 7.55 m in height) was installed above the opening of the combustion chamber to simulate the facade of the building. To investigate the temperature distribution of spill plumes along sloped facade wall, a total of 64 scenarios were considered with 4 different dimensions of rectangular openings(0.52 m0.65 m, 0.78 m0.52 m, 0.78 m0.65 m, 0.78 m0.78 m), 4 different facade wall angles (0°,10°,15°,20°) and 4 different heat release rates respectively. It is found that: (1) When the dimension of the openings and the heat release rates are constant, the temperature along the sloped facade (θ＞0°) is significantly higher than that along the vertical facade at the same measurement point (θ=0°). (2) When the angle of facade wall is set as 20°, the temperature at the same measurement point in the plume region is the highest among the four designed angles. (3) When the angle of facade wall is less than 20°, the temperature at the same measurement point gradually increases with the angle of the facade θ. (4) When the dimension of the openings and the angle of facade are the constant, with the increase of heat release rates, the maximum temperatures of the spill plume is almost constant. For further research on spill fire plume temperature distribution characteristics of sloped facade, the Z-Zn in classical theory is modified by 1+sinθ. It is found that the spill plume temperatures of the same opening dimension and heat release rate with different angles of facade wall collapse well. Based on these results, a predicted correlation of the temperature along the sloped facade is established, whose facade wall angles are in the range of 0<θ<20°.The results in this paper are based on the sloped angle between 0° and 20°. It needs to be further studied that whether the temperature distribution of spill plume conforms to this law when the sloped angle is greater than 20°. Related Articles | Metrics

Fire hazard evaluation of phenolic resin/glass fiber aircraft cargo lining composite material YANG Xiao-guang1, JIA Xu-hong1,2, XU Song-tao1, MA Jun-hao1 2022, 41 (3):  367-370.  Abstract ( 1688 )   Cone calorimeter and smoke density box were used to test and analyze the combustion characteristics of aircraft cargo compartment liners in different fire environments, and the fire hazard of glass fiber/phenolic resin composites was evaluated based on the experimental data of cone calorimeter. The results show that different heat radiation intensities have different effects on cargo tank linings. The greater the heat radiation intensity, the faster the thermal decomposition, the shorter the ignition time, and the greater the peak heat release rate. The maximum peak value is 98.5 kW/m2, and the maximum total heat release is 7.7 MJ/m2, and the maximum total smoke production is 0.8 m2, and the mass loss is greater. Under the same heat radiation intensity, the specific optical density of the A320 cargo tank lining composite material under flaming combustion is 2.39, and the maximum specific optical density is 16.06 in the case of flameless combustion. Combined with the CONE test data, four fire risk evaluation indicators, FGI, FPI, THRI and TSPI are calculated. FPI is inversely related to the thermal radiation intensity, and FGI, THRI and TSPI are all positive related to the thermal radiation intensity. Related Articles | Metrics

Study on model experiment and numerical WU Qian-yun, XU Shu-hui, MA Bo-yang,XU Rong-ji 2022, 41 (3):  379-384.  Abstract ( 1577 )   In order to study the accumulation of gas near the fire door and the mezzanine of tunnel when gas leaks in the utility tunnel, an experimental study was carried out on the model test bench with neon gas instead of gas. Numerical simulations were also used to verify the feasibility of neon gas instead of gas. It is proposed to add fire-proof air outlets at the highest point of the utility tunnel firewall and to install inducing fans on the mezzanine of tunnel. And the improvement effect of gas accumulation under this method was simulated. The results show that when the leak is located on the upstream side of the fire door, gas accumulation occurs in the upper part of the upstream and downstream near the fire door. The increase in the diameter of the leak aggravates the accumulation of gas. The higher the gas pipeline pressure is, the higher the gas leakage concentration and diffusion fluctuation is. Gas accumulation also forms at the dead corners of the utility tunnel mezzanine. The addition of fire-proof air outlets above the fire door and inducing fans in the mezzanine of the utility tunnel can effectively reduce the gas accumulation near the fire door and in the interlayer.

Experimental study on fire extinguishing of pneumatic conveying cement powder device in wood crib fire YAN Long, WANG Ning, XU Zhi-sheng 2022, 41 (3):  385-388.  Abstract ( 1561 )   In order to study the feasibility of extinguishing wood crib fire by cement powder, the fire extinguishing experiment of wood crib fire was carried out through a self-designed pneumatic conveying device of cement powder. The temperature acquisition device and camera were used to test the change law of wood crib fire before and after extinguishing by cement powder. The results show that the pneumatic conveying cement powder fire-extinguishing device can suppress the fire effectively on the surface of wood stack and reduce the combustion temperature of wood stack fire significantly. Cement powder is used to extinguish fire by covering effect, and excessive wood stack height and porosity weaken the extinguishing effect of cement powder. The fire extinguishing effect of cement powder varies significantly with the spray angle and spray height of cement powder. When the spray angle is 90° and the spray height is 1.5 m, the fire extinguishing effect is the best. Related Articles | Metrics

This problem is related to the formulation, uniformity and structure of the gas generating agent while the combustion stability is a direct manifestation of the combustion effect of the gas generating agent. In this paper, a kind of gas generating agent was prepared by mechanical mixing and freeze-drying, and the combustion stability of the gas generating agent is analyzed by high-speed camera. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the morphology of gas generating agent. The SEM images showed that the freeze-drying method was significantly better than mechanical mixing in the uniformity of samples. The combustion flame area is quantified by Matlab, and the results indicate that when comparing the ratio of the stable combustion time to the total combustion time, the average value of the mechanical mixing agent is only 13% while the freeze-drying agent reaches to 35.19%; when comparing the standard deviation of average flame area in the stable combustion stage, the mechanical mixing agent is 9.263 while the freeze-drying agent is 5.924.

The effects of ceramic fillers on properties of silicone rubber composites JIANG Hui-jing1, WANG Jun-sheng2,ZHU Hai-bo1, YANG Jin-jun1 2022, 41 (3):  417-420.  Abstract ( 1686 )   Ceramicizable silicone rubber composites are prepared with glass powder and mica powder as ceramic fillers. The effects of 80 parts of ceramic fillers and the ratio of glass powder and mica powder on the mechanical properties, flame retardancy, thermal stability and ceramic properties of silicone rubber were. The results show that the ceramic filler has a great influence on the mechanical properties of silicone rubber composites. The maximum tensile strength of composites is 5.96 MPa and the elongation at break is 421.3% with the loading of 30 phr glass powder and 50 phr mica powder. The flame retardancy of composites are improved with the addition of ceramic fillers. The maximum LOI value of composites is 28.4 while 20 phr glass powder and 60 phr mica powder are added. The addition of ceramic fillers significantly reduced the initial and maximum thermal decomposition temperatures of the composites while increased the residues at high temperature. The ceramic properties of the composites are significantly improved at high temperature. The ratio of glass powder to mica powder has a few effects on the mechanical properties, flame retardancy and thermal stability of the composites. As the increase of the loading of glass powder, the structure of the ceramics are more compact, the three-point bending strength of ceramics also increase and the maximum value is 15.53 MPa.
