Firstly, 72 oil storage tank fire cases are analyzed, 13 typical scenarios are identified as nodes, and the accident chain network is constructed according to the logical relationship of scenario development. Then, the risk assessment model of fire accident chain based on complex network is established to evaluate the importance of nodes and the risk degree of connecting edges between nodes. Finally, the explosion accident of Gulei PX project in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province was taken as an example to verify the feasibility and reliability of the proposed method. The research shows that the risk analysis model can reveal the key nodes and correlation in the oil storage tank fire accident chain, analyze the development direction of the accident chain in time, and improve the ability of emergency rescue teams to deal with oil storage tank fire accidents.

Experimental study on combustion characteristics of containers in box type automatic warehouse Li Jingjing, Wu Hongyou, Liu Xin, Li Guannan 2024, 43 (11):  1500-1504.  Abstract ( 41 )   In order to study the combustion characteristics of the storage unit of the box type automatic warehouse, a 3 MW calorimeter was used to carry out full-scale combustion characteristics tests of typical containers with different materials, different types and different placement modes. The essential parameters of fire spread behavior, heat release rate, combustion calorific value, radiant heat distribution were analyzed. The results show that the development process of single polypropylene and high density polyethylene open-top container in the combustion growth stage is slow fire, the heat release rate shows zigzag fluctuations in the relatively stable combustion stage. When a single polyethylene inclined container is burned, there are three peaks of heat release rate due to different box structures and the rate of fire growth varies between a slow fire and a near fast fire. Under experimental conditions, the peak heat release rate and total heat release rate of the double-group tandem open plastic box combustion are 8 times and 4 times of the single group value, and the fire heat release growth rate is increased by 24 times. Considering the actual dense storage conditions, there is the possibility that the flame will jump the narrow roadway and spread to the adjacent shelves. Related Articles | Metrics

Experimental study of dopamine-coated perlite on inhibition of methane explosion Ji Dongyu, Yang Ke, Ji Hong, Shu Zhongjun 2024, 43 (11):  1505-1511.  Abstract ( 34 )   The effects of different qualities of perlite, dopamine-coated perlite, and SiO2 powder on the shape of flame propagation, methane explosion pressure, and flame propagation velocity were investigated by using a self-constructed experimental platform with 9.5% methane as the explosive gas. Thermogravimetric analysis, particle size analysis, XRD analysis and scanning electron microscopy were used to analyze the thermal stability as well as the surface microcosmic condition of perlite powder before and after coating, and to analyze the detonation suppression mechanism of modified perlite by comparison. Through a variety of data comparisons, the three powders have the effect of inhibiting methane explosion, in which the effect of dopamine-coated perlite is the most obvious, spraying 320 mg working conditions of the maximum explosion pressure is the smallest, compared with the percentage of pure methane decreased by 62.3%, the maximum propagation of the flame of the 360 mg is the smallest, a decrease of 42.6%. The addition of dopamine-coated perlite powder hinders flame propagation and interrupts the chain reaction of methane explosion through chemical and physical suppression of methane explosion, thus achieving the effect of methane explosion suppression.

Single burning item test based on flame image recognition Zhao Chenggang, Shi Chuyang, Rong Jianzhong 2024, 43 (11):  1512-1516.  Abstract ( 39 )   In this study, a new method for evaluating the combustion performance of material monomers based on flame image recognition technology was proposed. In view of the limitations of the existing combustion test methods, such as insufficient measurement of process parameters and the influence of test scale, we used image recognition technology to measure the variation law of flame in the single burning item test (SBI), and established the mapping relationship between the combustion heating power of building materials and the area of flame luminous pixels. In the experiment, an intelligent camera system based on the Raspberry Pi and IMX477R camera module was used to process the flame image through OpenCV and Python algorithms, and the number of flame pixels was quantified. The FDS simulation software was used to simulate the flames with different combustion powers, and compared with the experimental data, the feasibility of the proposed method was verified. The results show that there is a nearly linear relationship between the flame burning power and the number of white pixels at the same viewing angle. In addition, the combustion performance level judgment based on visual analysis uses 60 kW of combustion energy as the safety threshold, which can quickly distinguish between refractory and combustible materials.

Experimental and theoretical research on the development law of spontaneous combustion of accumulated aluminum dust when encountered with moisture Shi Yongguo, Jia Bo, Wang Shenghua, Mu Jie 2024, 43 (11):  1517-1523.  Abstract ( 33 )   This study mainly utilizes a designed and modified spontaneous combustion testing device for accumulated aluminum dust and a testing platform for basic dust parameters, combined with theoretical analysis to investigate the development patterns of spontaneous combustion characteristics of accumulated aluminum dust under different factors. Research has shown that as the initial ambient temperature increases, the induction time of accumulated aluminum dust decreases, while the ignition delay time decreases; As the initial particle size increases, the delay period of accumulated aluminum dust gradually lengthens, and the induction period of dust spontaneous combustion also basically lengthens; The aluminum powder dust layers with a stacking thickness of 2, 3 cm all experienced spontaneous combustion, but the aluminum powder dust layer with a stacking thickness of 1 cm did not undergo spontaneous combustion. For the dust that ultimately underwent spontaneous combustion, the induction time and ignition delay time decreased with the increase of stacking thickness; According to the Semenov combustion theory, a theoretical calculation and estimation of the critical temperature were conducted, and the results were compared with experimental test values. The results were in good agreement, proving the accuracy of the experimental testing equipment and the feasibility of theoretical approximate calculations. Related Articles | Metrics

Identification method of controlled fire disturbance in ancient buildings based on artificial intelligence image processing technology Zhang Xi, Li Xiaoxu, Li Boning, Yu Chun yu 2024, 43 (11):  1528-1532.  Abstract ( 29 )   The use of wooden structures as the main structure in ancient buildings has led to frequent human caused fires. Due to the large and long-term ignition, burning, and other situations in ancient buildings for worship, lighting, or creating an atmosphere, it seriously interferes and affects the conventional point type smoke detectors, suction type, linear light beams, and image type fire detectors installed inside the building, resulting in a high false alarm rate. Therefore, this article proposes a new method for identifying controlled fire interference in ancient buildings based on artificial intelligence image processing technology, aiming at the technical difficulties of fire early warning and detection in large spaces inside large ancient buildings. Through the design of fire intelligent detection algorithms and controlled fire intelligent identification and confirmation algorithms, the intelligent identification of "behavior" image features of real fires and controlled fires in typical scenarios is achieved. The experimental results show that this method can provide warning prompts for both real and controlled fires within 4 s, effectively solving the technical difficulties of fire prevention and control in large ancient buildings.

Study on the effect of alpine low-pressure environment on the effectiveness of water mist fire extinguishing He Xin, Fu Zhixi, Liu Linding 2024, 43 (11):  1555-1559.  Abstract ( 28 )   In order to investigate the influence of the high altitude low pressure environment on water mist fire extinguishing effectiveness. Carried out a series of fine water fog field characteristics of different environmental pressure experiments and fire extinguishing experiments, studied high altitude low pressure environmental conditions on the spray characteristics of the relationship, revealed the fire extinguishing mechanism of fine water mist in low-pressure environments. Research has shown that in high-altitude low-pressure environments, with a constant nozzle cone angle, increasing the nozzle flow coefficient K results in a higher water mist flow rate in low-pressure areas under the same working pressure. Compared with normal pressure, air density decreases with decreasing pressure, and the interaction between water mist and surrounding air weakens when sprayed out of the nozzle, resulting in an increase in water mist particle size. Through fire extinguishing experiments, it has been verified that fine water mist improves the cooling effect on high-temperature fuel surfaces in low-pressure environments without changing the dilution and oxygen isolation function. Therefore, fine water mist has better fire extinguishing efficiency in low-pressure environments. Related Articles | Metrics

Safety risk identification and prevention measures of molten salt solar thermal power generation system Liu Shanwei, Wang Yan, Zhang Xiaoming, Lei Biao 2024, 43 (11):  1560-1564.  Abstract ( 24 )   Safety risk factors in molten salt solar thermal power generation systems were analyzed through simulation and experimental research methods. The results indicate that the main risks include optical hazards, high heat flux density, high-temperature environments, and corrosion leakage of molten salts within the concentrating solar power system. The peak heat flux density in trough solar thermal systems reaches 43.7×104 W/m2, with an average exceeding 1.8×104 W/m2. The heat flux density in tower solar thermal systems is higher than that in trough systems, and incorrect focusing can easily lead to fires and scalding accidents. Molten salts, operating at high temperatures (120~600 °C), can reduce the strength of system materials and cause significant corrosion to the steel components, leading to safety incidents. At a flow rate of 3 m/s, mixed nitrates increase the corrosion weight loss rate of stainless steels 316 and 321 to 0.023 kg/m2 and 0.024 kg/m2, respectively, which is a 44% and 35% increase compared to static corrosion. After 360 hours of static corrosion, mixed carbonates cause a mass loss of 0.236 kg/m2 for stainless steel 304. To prevent and control these risks, measures including protection of the solar mirror field, fire accident protection for working fluids, fire protection design, and corrosion leakage protection have been proposed.

Experimental study on high temperature mechanical properties of BS700 steel for aerial fire truck boom Zhu Yun, Gao Zhigang, Liu Tao, Zhang Ping 2024, 43 (11):  1571-1575.  Abstract ( 21 )   The high-strength steel BS700 is commonly used as a structural component for the boom of aerial fire truck over 70 m, and its high-temperature mechanical properties determine the structural safety of the boom when it is in service near fire. The high-temperature mechanical properties of BS700 steel were tested using steady-state tensile testing and constant temperature and load uniaxial tensile testing methods at 20~1 000 ℃. The mechanical property parameters and stress-strain relationship curves at different temperatures were obtained, and its creep performance at temperatures 300~500 ℃ was investigated. The results show that the yield strength and ultimate strength of BS700 steel gradually decrease with increasing temperature, nearly decaying by 50% at 500 ℃, being only 30% of room temperature at 600 ℃, and being less than 10% when the temperature exceeds 800 ℃. Within 400 ℃, the temperature has little effect on the post-yield elongation rate of BS700 steel, but after that, as the temperature further increases, the post-yield elongation rate increases sharply. When the temperature is between 300 ℃ and 400 ℃ and the stress is 380 MPa, the maximum creep strain of BS700 does not exceed 0.4%; however, at 500 ℃ under the same stress conditions, the maximum creep strain reaches 10%. Based on the measured experimental data, a mathematical model was established through polynomial fitting to describe the variation law of high-temperature mechanical property parameters of BS700 high-strength steel with temperature, providing a theoretical basis for designing the safe structural strength of booms of aerial fire truck over 70 m.

Research on the flow performance of lubricant modified dry water fire extinguishing materials Wang Yang, Zhu Guoqing 2024, 43 (11):  1580-1584.  Abstract ( 27 )   As a powder fire extinguishing material, good flowability plays an important role in the extinguishing effect of dry water, as well as in its future large-scale industrial production and storage. The present study investigates the impact of different lubricants and their concentrations on the flow properties of dry water by modifying it with three selected lubricants, talc powder, magnesium stearate, and glyceryl behenate. The influence of different lubricants and their contents on the flow performance of dry water fire extinguishing materials was studied through performance tests such as angle of repose, mass velocity, microstructure, and particle size distribution. The results showed that dry water modified with 1% glyceryl behenate exhibited the best fluidity, with an average angle of repose of 28.889° and an average mass velocity of 11.90 g/s, which was 24% higher than that of pure dry water.

Study on hydrothermal aging characteristics of glass fiber reinforced resin matrix composite fireproof partition Pu Ziheng, Zhang Zhichen, Guo Wei, Cai Jing 2024, 43 (11):  1585-1589.  Abstract ( 26 )   In order to study the hydrothermal aging characteristics of glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester resin fire barrier, the equivalent hydrothermal aging treatment of fire barrier was carried out in combination with the actual temperature and humidity environment and accelerated aging model in cable tunnel. The microstructure, thermal stability, combustion performance and mechanical properties of the samples were tested by scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric test, oxygen index test and impact strength test. The results show that white powder precipitates on the surface of the sample after 1 cycle of aging, and obvious cracks appear on the section after 3 cycles of aging. The microstructure diagram shows that the resin in the sample falls off from the glass fiber after 2 cycles of aging, and a large amount of glass fiber is exposed after 5 cycles of aging. The peak mass loss rate of the sample eventually increased by 45%. The impact strength finally decreased by 41.6%. The bending strength finally decreased by 47.3%. The bending strength of water absorption finally decreased by 42.5%. It shows that the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the samples decreased significantly after hygrothermal aging. The oxygen index of the sample was finally increased by 28.7%. The smoke density meets the technical specifications. The above two tests cannot be used as an indicator to judge the performance degradation of the fire barrier after hygrothermal aging. Related Articles | Metrics

Research on smoke filtering algorithm of forest fire images based on improved CycleGAN Li Haishun, Li Xingdong 2024, 43 (11):  1596-1602.  Abstract ( 18 )   Smoke at the forest fire scene is prone to obscure the information of fire field elements, thus seriously interfering with the implementation of remote sensing technology tools such as fire point localization. In this paper, an improved CycleGAN network algorithm for non-homogeneous smoke filtering in fire scene is proposed. The algorithm combines a wavelet transform branch with a knowledge distillation branch containing Res2Net module and attention module to form a generator, introduces a PatchGAN network as a discriminator, and at the same time adds perceptual loss and mapping loss functions on the basis of CycleGAN. The algorithm realizes the recovery of fire details and can effectively remove forest fire image artifacts. In order to verify the effectiveness of the model, the effect of the algorithm is compared with the existing de-fogging algorithms based on the international typical dataset NH-HAZE and the mesoscale point-burning experimental dataset. The results show that the algorithm's de-fogging effect is significantly improved compared with the existing model (compared with the second place, the PSNR and SSIM values are improved by at least 2.4 dB and 2.07 dB,0.02 and 0.15, respectively), which is able to improve the quality of remote sensing monitoring of forest fires, and it can provide richer and more valuable key information about the fire scene for forest fire fighting decision-making.
