Numerical study on spontaneous ignition of high-pressure hydrogen release into air
Hydrogen is attracting worldwide attention since it’s a clean and efficient energy. However, spontaneous ignition caused by high-pressure hydrogen release is a potential risk. The mechanism of spontaneous ignition and following flame evolution, especially high-pressure hydrogen release into the air, remained unresolved. Moreover, currently only the effect of hydrogen release pressure below 30 MPa on the possibility of spontaneous ignition has been investigated. In contrast, this study is the first time to consider the effect of high-pressure hydrogen release (35–140 MPa) on spontaneous ignition characteristics. Furthermore, the effects of release diameters and hole thicknesses were also taken into account. The characteristics of pressure, temperature and species mass fraction during spontaneous ignition at different release pressures were discussed in detail. The ignition delay time decreases from 0.71 μs to 0.36 μs when the release pressure increases from 35 MPa to 140 MPa. It is found that the ignition first takes place at the hole boundary. Moreover, Hole thicknesses and diameters have important effects on shock wave and flame evolutions. Enough premixed mixture and shock-heated air temperature are responsible for the occurrence of spontaneous ignition.
期刊介绍:
The Process Safety and Environmental Protection (PSEP) journal is a leading international publication that focuses on the publication of high-quality, original research papers in the field of engineering, specifically those related to the safety of industrial processes and environmental protection. The journal encourages submissions that present new developments in safety and environmental aspects, particularly those that show how research findings can be applied in process engineering design and practice.
PSEP is particularly interested in research that brings fresh perspectives to established engineering principles, identifies unsolved problems, or suggests directions for future research. The journal also values contributions that push the boundaries of traditional engineering and welcomes multidisciplinary papers.
PSEP's articles are abstracted and indexed by a range of databases and services, which helps to ensure that the journal's research is accessible and recognized in the academic and professional communities. These databases include ANTE, Chemical Abstracts, Chemical Hazards in Industry, Current Contents, Elsevier Engineering Information database, Pascal Francis, Web of Science, Scopus, Engineering Information Database EnCompass LIT (Elsevier), and INSPEC. This wide coverage facilitates the dissemination of the journal's content to a global audience interested in process safety and environmental engineering.
