Effect of opening blockage ratio on the characteristics of methane/air explosion suppressed by porous media

Jian Wang et al.

Summary: Gas explosion is a common serious accident in underground coal mines and industrial production processes. Porous media has a significant effect on stopping the propagation of pressure and flame, reducing the explosion hazard. This study investigated the explosion suppression effect of Fe-Ni and Cu foams with different pore sizes and opening blockage ratios (OBR). The results showed that the OBR, together with pore size, influenced the flame quenching efficiency and the peak overpressure attenuation rate.

Suppression of different functional group modified powders on 9.5% CH4-air explosion and molecular simulation mechanism

Yan Wang et al.

Summary: Thiol and urea functionalized montmorillonite powders were successfully prepared in this study and characterized using various techniques. The results showed that N-Mt and O-Mt exhibited better explosion suppression effects at the same mass concentration compared to S-Mt and Mt. The mechanism of methane/air explosion suppression by these powders involves the generation of NH4 NCO. and .OH radicals, as well as the presence of negatively electrophilic potential regions on the surface of O-Mt and N-Mt.

Quantitative risk assessment of explosion rescue by integrating CFD modeling with GRNN

Qizhong Li et al.

Summary: Gas explosions present a significant industrial hazard with sudden outbreak and rapid development, necessitating the use of quantitative risk assessment methods. While there have been efforts to analyze explosion risks in general, there is a lack of studies on assessing risks for rescuers during such incidents. Our study proposes an integrated approach using GRNN and CFD modeling for explosion rescue risk assessment, with a focus on underground coal mine gas explosions as a case study.

Analysis of natural gas leakage diffusion characteristics and prediction of invasion distance in utility tunnels

Fanxi Bu et al.

Summary: This study used numerical simulation to analyze the leakage and diffusion characteristics of natural gas in utility tunnels. It was found that under mechanical ventilation conditions, methane discharge was accelerated and the distribution range and concentration of methane in the utility tunnel were greatly reduced. With a mechanical ventilation frequency above 15 times/hour, the methane concentration at each monitoring point was below the lower explosion limit.
