A series of experiments were conducted to study the pressure and combustion characteristics of the high-pressure hydrogen during the occurrence of spontaneous ignition and the conversion from spontaneous ignition to a jet fire and explosion. Different initial conditions including release pressure (4–10 MPa), tube diameter (10/15 mm), and tube length (0.3/0.7/1.2/1.7/2.2/3 m) were tested. The variation of the pressure and flame signal inside and outside of the tube and the development of the jet flame were recorded. The experimental results revealed that the minimum ignition pressure required for self-ignition of hydrogen at different tube diameters decreased first and then increased with the extension of tubes. The minimum ignition pressure for tubes diameters of 10 mm and 15 mm is no more than 4 MPa and the length of the tubes is L = 1.7 m. The minimum release pressure required for spontaneous ignition of a tube D = 15 mm is always lower than that of a tube D = 10 mm at the same tube length. When the spontaneous ignition occurred, it did not absolutely trigger the jet fire. The transition from spontaneous ignition to a jet fire must go through the specific stages. 相似文献

The present paper deals with auto-ignition and combustion of high pressure hydrogen leaks through a tube with air into atmosphere. The experiments using a high pressure tube with hydrogen and an extension tube with air of 10 mm diameter are performed to clarify the auto-ignition and combustion behavior of high pressure hydrogen jet spouting through the extension tube. In order to improve repeatability and reliability of experiments, a plunger system with a needle is applied to control a rupture of a PET diaphragm, which separates hydrogen from air. The most important result obtained in the present study is that the minimum diaphragm burst pressure at which the auto-ignition is registered, is found to be between 1.0 and 1.2 m of the extension tube length. This tube length is longer compared to tubes used in the previous studies. Combustion and Mach disk at the extension tube exit to atmosphere are observed using a high speed camera which is set at the frame speed of 1 × 105 fps when the ignited hydrogen jet is spouted out the tube. 相似文献

The shock wave dynamics, spontaneous ignition and flame variation during high-pressure hydrogen release through tubes with different cross-section shapes are experimentally studied. Tubes with square, pentagon and circular cross-section shapes are considered in the experiments. The experimental results show that the cross-section shape of the tube has no great difference on the minimum burst pressure for spontaneous ignition in our tests. In the three tubes with length of 300 mm, spontaneous ignition may occur when overpressure of shock wave is 0.9 MPa. When the spontaneous ignition is induced in a non-circular cross-section tube, the possible turbulent flow in the corner of the tube increases can promote the mixing of hydrogen and air, thus producing more amount of the hydrogen/air mixture. As a result, both the peak light signal and flame duration detected in the non-circular cross-section tubes are more intense than those in the circular tube. The smaller angle of the corner leads to a more intensity flame inside tube. When the hydrogen flame propagates to the tube exit from the circular tube, the ball-like flame developed near tube exit is relatively weak. In addition, second flame separation outside the tube is observed for the cases of non-circular cross-section tubes. 相似文献

Recent experimental observations have shown that pressurized hydrogen may be spontaneously ignited in downstream tubes of sufficient length when it is released into the air due to the rapid failure of a pressure boundary. The mixing between hydrogen and shocked air within the downstream tubes is speculated to be a key process for the occurrence of spontaneous ignition of hydrogen. A direct numerical simulation has been conducted to analyze the processes of mixing and of spontaneous ignition of hydrogen within a tube after the rupture of a disk at a bursting pressure of 86.1 atm. A realistic assumption of the geometry of the pressure boundary at the moment of its failure is used for the initial condition of the numerical simulation to properly account for its effect on the mixing process. The present simulation results show that the mixing of shocked air and expanding hydrogen is enhanced by the transient multi-dimensional shock initiated by the failure of a rupture disk and by the following interactions during the flow development through the tube, thus causing spontaneous ignition of hydrogen within the tube. 相似文献

An experimental study was conducted to research the mechanism of spontaneous ignition induced by high-pressure hydrogen release through tubes with a diameter of 10 mm and varying lengths from 0.3 to 3 m. The pressure and light signals inside the tube were collected. The propagation of shock wave inside and outside the tube was also systematically investigated. The development process of the jet flame in the atmosphere was completely recorded, and the multiple Mach disks at the tube exit were observed by using a high-speed camera. The results show that the minimum release pressure, at which the jet flame is formed, is found to be 3.87 MPa with the tube length of 1.7 m. When the tube length was longer than 1.7 m, the critical pressure for forming jet flame increased rapidly. The velocity attenuation of the shock wave is mainly affected by the burst pressure but not sensitive to the tube length, and the flame propagates in the tube at a slower velocity than the shock wave. The compression of the hydrogen-air mixture by the Mach disk causes it to burn more violently after passing through the Mach disk. It is confirmed that the flame at the tube exit is lifted in the atmosphere, then a jet flame initiates behind the second Mach disk. 相似文献

This paper is an investigation of the spontaneous ignition process of high-pressure hydrogen and hydrogen-methane mixtures injected into air. The experiments were conducted in a closed channel filled with air where the hydrogen or hydrogen–methane mixture depressurised through different tubes (diameters d = 6, 10, and 14 mm, and lengths L = 10, 25, 40, 50, 75 and 100 mm). The methane addition to the mixture was 5% and 10% vol. The results showed that only 5% methane addition may increase even 2.67 times the pressure at which the mixture may ignite in comparison to the pressure of the pure hydrogen flow. The 10% of methane addition did not provide an ignition for burst pressures up to 15.0 MPa in the geometrical configuration with the longest tube (100 mm). Additionally, the simulations of the experimental configuration with pure hydrogen were performed with the use of KIVA numerical code with full kinetic reaction mechanism. 相似文献

This paper describes a large eddy simulation model of hydrogen spontaneous ignition in a T-shaped channel filled with air following an inertial flat burst disk rupture. This is the first time when 3D simulations of the phenomenon are performed and reproduced experimental results by Golub et al. (2010). The eddy dissipation concept with a full hydrogen oxidation in air scheme is applied as a sub-grid scale combustion model to enable use of a comparatively coarse grid to undertake 3D simulations. The renormalization group theory is used for sub-grid scale turbulence modelling. Simulation results are compared against test data on hydrogen release into a T-shaped channel at pressure 1.2–2.9 MPa and helped to explain experimental observations. Transitional phenomena of hydrogen ignition and self-extinction at the lower pressure limit are simulated for a range of storage pressure. It is shown that there is no ignition at storage pressure of 1.35 MPa. Sudden release at pressure 1.65 MPa and 2.43 MPa has a localised spot ignition of a hydrogen-air mixture that quickly self-extinguishes. There is an ignition and development of combustion in a flammable mixture cocoon outside the T-shaped channel only at the highest simulated pressure of 2.9 MPa. Both simulated phenomena, i.e. the initiation of chemical reactions followed by the extinction, and the progressive development of combustion in the T-shape channel and outside, have provided an insight into interpretation of the experimental data. The model can be used as a tool for hydrogen safety engineering in particular for development of innovative pressure relief devices with controlled ignition. 相似文献

In order to simulate an accidental hydrogen release from the high pressure pipe system of a hydrogen facility a systematic study on the nature of transient hydrogen jets into air and their combustion behavior was performed at the KIT hydrogen test site HYKA. Horizontal unsteady hydrogen jets from a reservoir of 0.37 dm3 with initial pressures of up to 200 bar have been investigated. The hydrogen jets released via round nozzles 3, 4, and 10 mm were ignited with different ignition times and positions. The experiments provide new experimental data on pressure loads and heat releases resulting from the deflagration of hydrogen–air clouds formed by unsteady turbulent hydrogen jets released into a free environment. It is shown that the maximum pressure loads occur for ignition in a narrow position and time window. The possible hazard potential arising from an ignited free transient hydrogen jet is described. 相似文献

Increasing hydrogen storage pressure brings high economic benefits and high risks. Pressurized hydrogen leakage spontaneous ignition experiment is an important means to reveal the mechanism of hydrogen leakage spontaneous ignition and improve the safety of hydrogen storage equipment. However, due to the extremely high cost and danger of ultra-high pressure, there is a serious lack of experimental data. In this paper, a pressure-ratio equivalent (PRE) method of experiments is proposed based on the theory of the shock tube problem. By keeping the hydrogen-air pressure ratio constant while reducing the absolute pressure of air and hydrogen, the difficulty of the experiment is greatly reduced. The effectiveness of the PRE method is evaluated theoretically and experimentally. The results show the PRE method retains the ignition characteristics of hydrogen leakage spontaneous ignition largely when the air pressure is within 0.05–0.1 MPa. It is found the pressure ratio of hydrogen to air dominates the leakage spontaneous ignition process. In the experiments of different air pressures, the shock Mach numbers are close to theoretical values. In addition, leakage spontaneous ignition of hydrogen mixed with 30% (vol.) CO is found in experiments using the PRE method, with pressure ratios of up to 250. This indicates that when the storage pressure is high enough, there is also a risk of spontaneous ignition of syngas from high-pressure leakage. The PRE method can widely broaden the pressure scope of experimental research on leakage spontaneous ignition, and it provides a new idea for obtaining the experimental data of gas high-pressure leakage spontaneous ignition. 相似文献

Pressure dynamics,self-ignition,and flame propagation of hydrogen jet discharged under high pressure
《International Journal of Hydrogen Energy》2019,44(40):22661-22670
The self-ignition of hydrogen released from a high-pressure tank using extension tubes (2200 mm) with different diameters was studied. The processes of flame transition at a nozzle and jet flame development were characterized using a high-speed camera. The results indicated that the intensity of a shockwave and the Mach number decay faster in a 10-mm-diameter tube than that in a 15-mm-diameter tube. The pressure in a 15-mm-diameter tube was weaker than that in the 10-mm-diameter tube at the initial stage; however, it became higher in the later stage. Spontaneous ignition was more likely to happen in a 15-mm-diameter tube. The formation of a stabilized flame at the tube exit and Mach disk were observed during the transition of the flame to a jet fire. The stabilized flame showed a triangular shape because of the influence of a Prandtl–Meyer flow when a hydrogen jet entered a suddenly expanding environment. The formation and separation of a spherical flame were recorded during jet flame development. Large vortexes were formed in front of the flame because of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, which resulted in the separation of the spherical flame. The vortexes stopped rotating until the separated flame disappeared. 相似文献

Experiments on shock waves propagation, spontaneous ignition, and flame development during high-pressure hydrogen release through tubes with symmetrical obstacles (O1-1) and asymmetrical obstacles (O1-2) are conducted. The obstacle's side is triangular with a length of 4 mm, a height of 3.6 mm, and its width is 15 mm. In the experiments, a reflected shock wave generates and propagates both upstream and downstream when the leading shock wave encounters the obstacle. At the same burst pressure, the reflected shock wave intensity in tube O1-1 is significantly greater than that in tube O1-2. Moreover, the presence of obstacles in the tube can induce spontaneous ignition. The minimum burst pressures for spontaneous ignition for tubes O1-1 and O1-2 are 2.84 MPa and 3.28 MPa respectively, lower than that for the smooth tube. Furthermore, both the initial ignition position and ignition time are greatly advanced in obstruction tubes, mainly affected by obstacle positions and burst pressures. Finally, the flame separation process near the obstacle is observed. After passing the obstacle, the flames grow rapidly in radial and axial directions on the tube sidewalls. And at the same burst pressure, the flame convergence time in tube O1-2 is usually longer than that in tube O1-1. 相似文献

A high-pressure hydrogen jet released into the air has the possibility of igniting in a tube without any ignition source. The mechanism of this phenomenon, called spontaneous ignition, is considered to be that hydrogen diffuses into the hot air caused by the shock wave from diaphragm rupture and the hydrogen-oxidizer mixed region is formed enough to start chemical reaction. Recently, flow visualization studies on the spontaneous ignition process have been conducted to understand its detailed mechanism, but such ignition has not yet been well clarified. In this study, the spontaneous ignition phenomenon was observed in a rectangular tube. The results confirm the presence of a flame at the wall of the tube when the shock wave pressure reaches 1.2–1.5 MPa in more than 9 MPa burst pressure and that ignition occurs near the wall, followed by multiple ignitions as the shock wave propagates, with the ignitions eventually combining to form a flame. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to gain an insight into the physical phenomena underlying the spontaneous ignition of hydrogen following a sudden release from high-pressure storage and transition to sustained jet fire. The modelling and large-eddy simulation (LES) of the spontaneous ignition dynamics in a tube with a non-inertial rupture disk separating the high-pressure hydrogen storage and the atmosphere is described. Numerical experiments confirmed that due to the stagnation conditions a chemical reaction first commences in the tube boundary layer, and subsequently propagates throughout the tube cross-section. The dynamics of flame formation outside the tube, simulated by the LES model, has reproduced the combustion patterns, including vortex induced “flame separation”, which have been experimentally observed by high-speed photography. It is concluded that the LES model can be applied for hydrogen safety engineering, e.g. for the development of innovative pressure relief devices. 相似文献

The tendency of spontaneous ignition of high-pressure hydrogen during its sudden release into a tube is one of the main threats to the safe application of hydrogen energy. A series of investigations have shown that the tube structure is a key factor affecting the spontaneous ignition of high-pressure hydrogen. In this paper, a numerical study is conducted to reveal the mechanism of spontaneous ignition of high-pressure hydrogen inside the tube with local contraction. Large Eddy Simulation, Renormalization Group, Eddy Dissipation Concept, 37-step detailed hydrogen combustion mechanism and 10-step like opening process of burst disk are employed. Three cases with burst pressures of 3.10, 4.90, and 8.45 MPa are simulated to compare against the pervious experimental study. The spontaneous conditions and positions agree well with the experimental results. The numerical results indicate that shock wave reflection takes place at the upstream vertical wall of contraction part. The interacted-shock-affected region is generated at the tube center because of the subsequent shock wave interaction. The forward reflected shock wave couples with normal shock wave and increases the pressure of leading shock wave. The sudden contraction of tube blocks the propagation of hydrogen jet and decreases the speed from supersonic flow to subsonic flow. More flammable mixture is generated inside the contraction part, as a results, the length of the flame is increased. Two mechanisms are proposed finally. 相似文献

Field experiments of a high pressure release of hydrogen gas inside a 6 m long, 0.9 m wide, and 0.8 m high channel have been performed, to validate the Froude scaling and to obtain pressure and flame speed data in an inhomogeneous hydrogen–air cloud. Froude scaling with a length scale corresponding to the height of a 100% hydrogen layer in the channel was used to describe the flow of the hydrogen–air cloud in the channel. The estimated time of ignition based on the Froude scaling for release pressures of 100 bars and 150 bars agreed well with the experiments. At lower release pressures the estimated time was lower, which was most likely caused by dilution of the front of the hydrogen cloud. High speed video was used to record the flame speed. For the present experimental conditions it appeared that the deflagration taking place closer to the jet source determines the maximum explosion pressure. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to delineate the unsteady fluid dynamics of the high-pressure hydrogen jet to clarify the relationship between the forced ignition position and the flame development characteristics in a high-pressure hydrogen jet leaking from a pinhole. The Navier–Stokes equation for a compressible multi-component gas was used to simulate a high-pressure (82 MPa stagnation pressure) unsteady hydrogen jet ejected into the atmosphere through a pinhole (diameter = 0.2 mm). The results indicated that the flapping jet at the base of the jet formed a cloud of highly concentrated hydrogen that flowed downstream. A correlation was observed between the spatio-temporal distribution of hydrogen concentration and velocity was observed. The unsteady high-pressure hydrogen jet obtained by simulation will be used in subsequent studies focusing on flame development under forced ignition. 相似文献

Hydrogen is expected to be an alternative energy carrier in the future. High-pressure hydrogen storage option is considered as the best choice. However, spontaneous ignition tends to occur if hydrogen is suddenly released from a high-pressure tank into a tube. In order to improve the safety of hydrogen application, an experimental investigation on effects of CO2 additions (5%, 10% and 15% volume concentration) on the spontaneous ignition of high-pressure hydrogen during its sudden expansion inside the tube has been conducted. Pressure transducers are used to record the pressure variation and light sensors are employed to detect the possible spontaneous ignition. It is found that the shock wave overpressure and the mean shock wave speed are almost the same inside the tube for different CO2 additions under the close burst pressures. For cases with more CO2 additions, the ignition detected time is longer and the average speed of the flame, the maximum value of light signals and the detected duration time of spontaneous ignition are smaller. It is shown that minimum burst pressure required for spontaneous ignition increase 1.47 times for 15% CO2 additions. The minimum burst pressure required for spontaneous ignition increases from 4.37 MPa (0% CO2) up to 6.41 MPa (15% CO2). With the increasing of CO2 additions, it requires longer distance and longer time for hydrogen and oxygen to mix and thus longer ignition delay distance/time. The results showed that additions of CO2 to air have a good suppressing effect on hydrogen spontaneous ignition. 相似文献

Influence of rupturing process on a diffusion self-ignition of hydrogen was studied experimentally at a pulse discharge into an open channel filled with air. Self-ignition of hydrogen occurred at a contact surface of the jet of hydrogen. Required temperatures for self-ignition were reached due to heating the air by a shock wave which appears as a result of the non-stationary discharge of hydrogen from the high pressure vessel. Initial pressure of hydrogen was varied from 3 to 14 MPa. Rupture duration of a diaphragm was measured. Rupture rate of the diaphragm was determined by an intensity of light, passing through the diaphragm. Formation of a shock wave flow structure at the pulse discharge of compressed hydrogen into the channel with air was studied, and ignition delays of hydrogen were determined. Correlation between rupture duration of the diaphragm and ignition delays are given. Comparison of experimental results with the previous numerical ones was carried out. 相似文献

Jet flames originated by cryo-compressed ignited hydrogen releases can cause life-threatening conditions in their surroundings. Validated models are needed to accurately predict thermal hazards from a jet fire. Numerical simulations of cryogenic hydrogen flow in the release pipe are performed to assess the effect of heat transfer through the pipe walls on jet parameters. Notional nozzle exit diameter is calculated based on the simulated real nozzle parameters and used in CFD simulations as a boundary condition to model jet fires. The CFD model was previously validated against experiments with vertical cryogenic hydrogen jet fires with release pressures up to 0.5 MPa (abs), release diameter 1.25 mm and temperatures as low as 50 K. This study validates the CFD model in a wider domain of experimental release conditions - horizontal cryogenic jets at exhaust pipe temperature 80 K, pressure up to 2 MPa ab and release diameters up to 4 mm. Simulation results are compared against such experimentally measured parameters as hydrogen mass flow rate, flame length and radiative heat flux at different locations from the jet fire. The CFD model reproduces experiments with reasonable for engineering applications accuracy. Jet fire hazard distances established using three different criteria - temperature, thermal radiation and thermal dose - are compared and discussed based on CFD simulation results. 相似文献
