To analyze the fire behavior in the dynamic pressure environment, a series of n-heptane pool fire experiments were conducted in an 8.11m × 4.16m × 1.67m simulated aircraft cargo compartment. The compartment is capable of mimicking flight environment from taking off to landing of the aircraft according to the standards of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) by a pressure control system. Pool fires with 30cm diameter were tested under the dynamic pressure from 101kPa to 45kPa with various depressurization rates of 10kPa/min, 15kPa/min, 20kPa/min and 25kPa/min. Fire behavior such as burning rate, oscillation frequency and flame temperature were analyzed. The results revealed that the dynamic pressure influences the burning rate not only during the depressurization stage but also after depressurization. The oscillation frequency increases with the pressure decrease but has no relationship with depressurization rate. The flame temperature at different heights shows various tendencies with pressure.

Radiation Heat Loss

AbstractThis paper presents a two dimensional asymptotic model of counterflow diffusion flame in the presence of radiation heat loss. The fuel and oxidizer, respectively, are injected from left and right hand side of the flame. The effects of burning rate, Lewis and Damkohler number on the structure and extinction of the flame is studied using perturbation method. To do so, the structure of the flame is considered to be composed of reaction zone with a thickness of O(ε) and radiation heat loss zone, of O(δ) thickness, that sandwiches the reaction zone. The effect of burning rate is illustrated by burning pre-exponential parameter, B. It is found that with the increase of the parameter, the flame temperature is also increased, and flame location moves toward the fuel side. In addition, the variation of Lewis number of fuel and oxidizer has a significant effect on the location and temperature of the flame.

Ambient Conditions

This paper presents results of different burning rates of small-scale ethanol pool fires at pressures of 0.6∼1.0 atm in closed and open space. Experiments were performed using a square burner of side length of 4 cm under two different conditions: one was taken in a closed low air pressure cabin (0.5 m3, the interior pressure ranges from 0.6–1.0 atm); another was taken in open space respectively in Hefei (air pressure: 1.0 atm) and Lhasa (air pressure: 0.66 atm). The pool fire characteristics including the burning rate, the axial temperature and pulsation frequency of flame were measured. In closed space, the burning rate, flame temperature, and pulsation frequency of small-scale ethanol pool fires decreased with the decreasing pressure, while in open space they increased when the air pressure reduced. As a result of different ambient conditions and oxygen depletion, the burning rate, flame temperature and pulsation frequency were lower at lower air pressure in closed space but were higher at higher air pressure in open space.
