Dynamic and evolution of the CH4 explosion with different vent tube diameters
CH4 explosion in a confined space will cause serious harm, and the vent tube can realize the directional venting of the explosion. Through the explosion experiment and numerical simulation of 8 vol% CH4, the impact of tube diameter on CH4 explosion venting was studied. The findings show that the tube diameter affected the pressure accumulation and pressure venting efficiency in the tube, and the maximum explosion pressure decreased as the tube diameter increased. The diameter of the tube affected the velocity and pressure of the venting airflow. When the tube diameter was 70 mm, the maximum explosion pressure decreased by 41.67 %. When the tube diameter was 30 mm, bright and clear Mach disks structure appeared, while the Mach disk structure did not appear when the tube diameter was 70 mm, the maximum flame length and velocity were achieved, 805 mm and 359.55 m/s, respectively. Through numerical simulation, the explosion of CH4 was reproduced under both closed and venting conditions, and the temperature field resulting from the CH4 explosion was constructed. This study can provide data reference for optimizing the safety design of fuel power plants and industrial heating equipment and reduce the risk of explosion.
期刊介绍:
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provides a forum for the rapid publication of short, structured Case Studies in Thermal Engineering and related Short Communications. It provides an essential compendium of case studies for researchers and practitioners in the field of thermal engineering and others who are interested in aspects of thermal engineering cases that could affect other engineering processes. The journal not only publishes new and novel case studies, but also provides a forum for the publication of high quality descriptions of classic thermal engineering problems. The scope of the journal includes case studies of thermal engineering problems in components, devices and systems using existing experimental and numerical techniques in the areas of mechanical, aerospace, chemical, medical, thermal management for electronics, heat exchangers, regeneration, solar thermal energy, thermal storage, building energy conservation, and power generation. Case studies of thermal problems in other areas will also be considered.
