摘要:
为了保障煤矿安全生产,降低煤尘爆炸造成的人员伤亡和经济损失,对管道中不同浓度的煤尘发生爆炸后的超压传播规律进行了研究。根据煤尘爆炸冲击波与火焰波之间的正反馈机制采用量纲分析法综合考虑影响煤尘爆炸超压传播的动静态因素,结合实验数据建立了半封闭直线管道内煤尘爆炸超压单向传播的动静态耦合数学模型并对模型进行了验证和综合对比。结果表明:爆炸混合物能量、测点与爆源距离、煤尘浓度、火焰传播速度、煤尘粒径是影响煤尘爆炸超压传播的主要因素;煤尘爆炸超压与火焰传播速度正相关,在进行煤尘爆炸危险性评估时,应重点关注湍流、障碍物等促进火焰加速的因素;所建立的动静态耦合模型具有较高的可靠性,与已有的超压预测方法相比,操作门槛低且可解析超压动态传播过程,具备综合优势。
Abstract:
To ensure safe production in coal mines and effectively mitigate casualties as well as economic losses caused by coal dust explosions, the overpressure propagation laws following explosions of coal dust with varying concentrations in a pipeline were investigated. Based on the positive feedback mechanism between the shock wave and the flame wave during coal dust explosions in a horizontal pipeline—realized specifically through heating and compression effects, a rigorous dimensional analysis method was employed. This method allowed a comprehensive consideration of a series of dynamic and static factors affecting the overpressure propagation of coal dust explosions, including energy of the explosive coal dust mixture, accumulated volume of the explosive coal dust mixture, pipeline cross-sectional area, hydraulic diameter, distance from the measuring point to the explosion source, initial air pressure before explosion, air density, coal dust concentration, flame propagation velocity at the measuring point, coal dust particle size, and pipeline friction coefficient. By incorporating experimental data, a dynamic-static coupling mathematical model was established to describe the unidirectional propagation of overpressure from coal dust explosions in a semi-closed straight pipeline. The model was subsequently validated and subjected to further comprehensive comparisons. The results clearly indicate that the energy of the explosive mixture, the distance between the measuring point and the explosion source, coal dust concentration, flame propagation velocity, and coal dust particle size constitute the main factors influencing the overpressure propagation of coal dust explosions. A strong positive correlation exists between coal dust explosion overpressure and flame propagation velocity. In practical hazard assessments of coal dust explosions, particular attention should be paid to factors that promote flame acceleration, such as turbulence and obstacles. The established dynamic-static coupling model demonstrates high reliability. Compared with existing overpressure prediction methods, this model offers lower operational thresholds and the capability to resolve the dynamic overpressure propagation process, thereby presenting overall comprehensive advantages.
