Inflammation susceptibility and the nature of combustion are one of the most important characteristics for the parametrization of the fire hazard of polymer materials. Because ignition is the occurrence process of the persistent flame near the surface of the material, which is preceded by the process of propagation of the flame front on its surface, the predisposition to ignition of the polymer materials plays an important role in the aspect of initiation of fires. A comparative evaluation of inflammation susceptibility of substances of different nature was carried out basing the determination of the ignition point and self-ignition point. \u0000Purpose. The work aims to determine the peculiarities of the influence of copper(II) carbonate on the increase of ignition point and self-ignition point of epoxy-amine composites. \u0000Metods. The experimental determination of the ignition point and self-ignition point was carried out according to all-Union State Standard 12.1.044-89 (4.7, 4.9 items). Toward this end, three samples of the test material were prepared with a weight of 3 g. Before testing, samples were conditioned in air. \u0000Results. Data on the effect of copper(II) carbonate on the value of ignition point and self-ignition point of the epoxy-amine composites indicate that the epoxy-amine-based composite, cured by the traditional amine hardener (PEPA), has lowest temperature of the ignition  and self-ignition. The temperture values of ignition and self-ignition increase as the content of copper(II) carbonate increases in the composite, measuring up a maximum value at 80 g of CuCO3 per 100 g of binder. It is proved that the reason for the increase of the ignition temperature and self-ignition temperature of the modified epoxy-amine composites is the appearance of strong coordination bonds that are formed due to the chemical binding of the combustible polyethylenepolyamine with the non-combustible inorganic salt (with copper(II) carbonate). The measured values of the ignition point and self-ignition point of the amine hardener (PEPA) of the epoxy-diane oligomer indicate that it is able to ignite at temperature 136ºC, and self-ignite at temperature 393ºС. After forming the chelate complex, the coordinated PEPA turns into a practically non-combustible substance. \u0000Conclusion. Consequently, the main factor that affects to make difficulty of ignition of organic nitrogen-containing substances is the efficient chemical binding N atoms of the combustible amine molecules with d-metal atom of the non-combustible inorganic salt, which is accompanied by the formation of sufficiently strong coordination bonds of the Cu(ІІ)¬N type. The resistance to ignition of the modified polymeric composites will depend on the binding strength of the copper(II) salt with an amine hardener. The mechanism of the fire retardant influence of the d-metal salts on combustion of the epoxy-amine-based composites consists in this. So, copper(II) compounds, in particular copper","PeriodicalId":12280,"journal":{"name":"Fire Safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74195742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially great difficulties are caused by fire extinguishing of oil and oil products, in tank farms. The best results when extinguishing flammable liquids are provided by means air-mechanical foams. For various types of foams, there are common drawbacks: low foams stability under the action of intense heat fluxes from the flame of a burning liquid, their rapid destruction upon contact with polar liquids, difficulties with feeding over long distances, high cost of a number of foaming agents, the presence in their composition of environmentally hazardous substances, contamination of flammable liquids, high cost of foam supply systems . \u0000To eliminate the disadvantages of air-mechanical foam, it is proposed to use granular foam glass as one of the components of the fire extinguishing system for extinguishing flammable liquids. It has been previously established that the foam glass layer slows down the evaporation of combustible liquids. In addition, filling the foam glass leads to the cooling of the burning liquids. \u0000Cooling is one of the most important mechanisms for stopping combustion. Due to the cooling of flammable liquids, the vapor pressure is lowered over their surface and, accordingly, the intensity of combustion decreases.

Like that intramolecular (chemically effective), molecular (thermodynamically active) or macroscopic (ordered by external manifestation) motion in substances causes mass transfer - diffusion, impulse transfer - viscosity, as well as they form the transfer of energy of disordered motion - heat-exchanging. By tying the phenomena of mass, momentum and energy transfer with molecular, intraocular and ordered motions, respectively, the leading, radial and convection components of each of these phenomena can be distinguished. Due to the common condition, diffusion, viscosity, heat transfer are interconnected phenomena and play a decisive role in processes passing through cylinders of the internal combustion engine. Therefore, they together should have been subject to some general harmonious theory of motion and energy exchange, which is based on the uniform physical and mathematical principles of environmental reflection. However, today such a theory does not exist. Because of this, in the study of heat exchange processes in the internal combustion engines we have to move, relying heavily on the principles of empiricism. \u0000In spite of the extremely complex phenomenon of  heat transfer, the internal combustion engine in the working space of the engine is such that it allows us to rely on relatively simple model descriptions based on the principles of empiricism. \u0000The purpose of the work — based on the principles of the theory of similarity, to justify the possibility of adequate reflection and formalized generalization of experimentally identified information about the laws of the flow of heat transfer processes in the engines of Otto (the engine of rapid internal combustion). \u0000The main object of empirical research is the coefficient of heat transfer. Only meaningful transparency and ease of use can be explained by the fact that so far this concept is widely used, although it is completely motivated can be replaced by a more general dimensionless characteristic. A great deal of empirical dependencies are proposed for calculating this coefficient. Each of them has own level of universality and it is applicability limits for adequacy. Generally, universality and adequacy are not mutually conductive characteristics of the quality of empirical relationships. That is why studying a certain set of engine operating modes, it is desirable to involve in the mathematical and experimental apparatus of research, such analytically displayed empirical relationships, which within this set remained unchanged by the structure and values of its main parameters. \u0000Heat transfer in the cylinder of the engine of rapid internal combustion between the gas and the wall of the combustion space occurs mainly due to forced convection.

The attempt to get the best dynamic and static characteristics of the basket turn angle complicates the tasks performed by the automatic control system (ACS) basket turn drive. The ACS  of the basket turn should meet the following requirements: high speed, smooth acceleration and breaking of the motor, static and dynamic accuracy of the reproduction of tasks trajectories, no overregulation in transition modes, required stability reserve, low sensitivity to coordinate and parametric disturbances, etc. A number of fundamentally different ACSs and methods for their synthesis have been analyzed to provide these requirements. As a result of the analysis, there has been selected a two-loop feedback control system (FCS) of the basket turn with regard to the elastic properties of the arrow, which is synthesized by the method of the generalized characteristic polynomial. Studies have shown that this system allows to provide an aperiodic transition process of the basket turn angle with a given speed and low sensitivity in steady state to the perturbation effect. However, the synthesized FCS transfer functions of the controllers of angular velocity of the motor and the basket have a high order and turned out to be quite complicated in terms of practical implementation. \u0000Purpose. In the article it is proposed to replace these controllers, by approximating them through evolutionary methods, with more compact fractional PІλDμ-controllers or fractional order controllers. \u0000Results. The studies carried out in this work have shown that fractional order controllers are quite advantageous in comparison with the over classical ones, particularly in the case of their application for optimization of electromechanical systems with the following features of their control objects: two masses, including those with the presence of impact; backlash viscosity of the drive friction; nonlinear load and so on. \u0000Replacement of the high-order motor and basket angular speed controllers with more compact PІλDμcontrollers or fractional order controllers has been performed using Optimization Toolbox optimization package in the MATLAB package.

The main task of the SNSS rescue units is to provide emergency assistance and rescue of the population in case of occurrence of events that threaten their life and health or may cause material damage. The success of rescuing people by fire brigades depends on several factors. First of all, it is the presence of special fire fighting equipment for rescue operations at the altitude and the technical possibility of its use. Today, the rescue of the victim from a sewage well, a water collector - a phenomenon is still quite widespread. Such cases come from the fault of the victim, yes, and due to negligence of the relevant utilities. Purpose. In rescuing people from multistory buildings, rescuers use motorbikes, but if the motorway can not arrive at an emergency, and manual fire ladders do not reach the required height, fire and rescue units use fire ropes and evacuate people with them.Rescue works in wells of underground communications are divided into the following stages: • Preparation of the necessary equipment and place of the event for the execution of works; • Emergency rescue directly into the well; • Preparation of the victim for lifting to the surface and transportation; • lifesaving on the surface. Methods. For descent from the floors or lifting from the underground well, the survivors of the survivors knit a double rescue loop from the fire rope and put it on the victim. But there is a better alternative to the double rescue loop - this is a rescue triangle. Results.

Since the steel pipe mainly provides the bearing capacity of the concrete column, its failure or reduction of stiffness, which is characteristic of the fire under the influence of its thermal factors, leads to destruction. Investigation of fire resistance of concrete structures, which are not protected by flame retardant coatings, showed that a steel clasp during a fire after 15 minutes is heated to a critical temperature of 500 ° C.The use of flame retardant coatings is an effective method of fire protection of concrete constructions, which prevents the rapid heating of steel welds and provides a normalized fire resistance limit for such structures. In this work, studies were carried out on the effectiveness of fire protection of concrete columns with different types of fire-retardant materials - mineral wool slabs, special flame retardants and flame-retardant coatings.
