无约束气云弱点火爆炸压力实验研究

引　言在可燃气体的输送、贮存、加工和使用过程中由可燃气体泄漏而形成的气云爆炸已给人类社会造成了巨大的人员伤亡和财产损失 ,近年来发生在我国的几起重大气云爆炸事故无不令人触目惊心 ,可见研究气云爆炸成灾模式及防治技术具有重要的社会和经济意义 .要防治可燃气云爆炸给社会造成的巨大灾难 ,首先就要掌握气云爆炸的强度 .关于可燃气云爆炸的研究可分为两大类 :一类是针对军事领域研究由炸药点燃气云从而形成爆轰波的过程1,2 ] ;另一类是针对工业领域研究弱点火 (通常指点火能量小于10 0Ｊ)条件下的工业气云的爆炸过程3～ 5] ,这正…

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON EXPLOSION PRESSURES OF UNRESTRICTED GAS CLOUD EXPLOSIONS

The strength of flammable gas cloud explosion has been experimentally researched by means of acetylene-air clouds which were ignited by electric sparks.The ignition device which provides ignition energy of about 100mJ was made according to international standard ISO 6184 and American Standard NFPA68. The explosion pressure was picked up by pressure transducer with a dynamic responding time of 0.001 s and recorded by computer. By regressing the experimental data,the relationship of gas cloud explosion pressure to the initial radius of gas cloud and the distance to the center of gas cloud can be obtained. That is p=Ar 2 0/r where A is a constant depending on flammable gas cloud.The damage of unrestricted gas cloud to building structure is discussed based on the strength of houses.
