An experimental study on ignition and explosion of high-pressure hydrogen jet in open space
-
摘要: 采用高速相机和压力传感器,对开放空间中稳态射流氢气点火爆炸初期的火焰行为和超压变化规律进行了实验研究。结果表明:在点火爆炸初期,火焰在点火电极处以球形向外扩散;爆炸后4~6 ms,火焰前锋达到最大位移,之后逐渐熄灭,最后形成射流火焰。火焰前锋位移主要受喷嘴直径影响,并随喷嘴直径的增大而增大。火焰宽度的变化规律与火焰前锋位移基本相似。整个爆炸过程仅出现1个超压峰值,正压维持时间约为1 ms。在同一点火距离处,峰值超压随氢气流量的增加而增大。在相同氢气流量下,峰值超压随点火距离的增大而减小。最大峰值超压与氢气流量成正比,与点火距离成反比。Abstract: Experiments were carried out on the flame behaviors and overpressure evolutions at the initial stage of ignition and explosion of steady-state hydrogen jet in open space, while a high-speed camera and pressure transducers were employed to record the flame shape and overpressure. The results show that at the early stage of ignition and explosion, the flame propagated outward from the ignition electrode with a spherical shape. After 4-6 ms, the flame front reached its maximum displacement, gradually extinguished, and finally formed a jet flame. The displacement of the flame front was mainly affected by the nozzle diameter and increased with the nozzle diameter. The variations of flame width were basically similar to those of the flame front displacement. The entire explosion process only experienced one overpressure peak, with a positive pressure maintained for approximately 1 ms. At the same ignition distance, the peak overpressure increased with hydrogen flow rate. At the same hydrogen flow rate, the peak overpressure decreased with increasing ignition distance. The maximum peak overpressure was directly proportional to the hydrogen flow rate and inversely proportional to the ignition distance.
