Effect of Obstacles Gradient Arrangement on Non-Uniformly Distributed LPG–Air Premixed Gas Deflagration

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
The arrangement of obstacles can significantly impact the deflagration behavior of combustible gases. In the actual pipeline accident site, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and other gases often show non-uniform distribution after leakage owing to diffusion

An Experimental Study of Pool Fire Characteristics under the Effects of Cross Winds and Baffles

open access: yesFire, 2023
The pool fires that occur behind obstructions in a ventilated environment are very different from other wind-blown pool fires. The pool fire formed by fuel leakage in an engine nacelle is a typical example of a pool fire influenced by cross winds and ...

Research on the Combustion Characteristics of Coal Piles and the Fire Risks of Closed Coal Bunkers

open access: yesFire, 2023
Closed coal bunkers emerged as a novel form of coal storage for coal-fired power stations. Nevertheless, heat builds continually in the storage process because of the constant oxidation of coal and combined with the impact of a confined coal bunker ...
