Abstract

Abstract

To investigate the synergistic effect of N₂ and combined porous media to suppress gas explosion, the experiments were carried out in an independently designed explosion pipe. The nitrogen curtain was 0.9 m away from the ignition location. The combined porous media used in the experiments consist of a combination of iron-nickel foam with pore densities of 10, 20, 30 and 40 ppi, as well as a combination of iron-nickel foam with 10 ppi and copper foam with 20 and 40 ppi. The results show that nitrogen curtains cause intact flames to propagate forward in a fragmented manner, diluting the concentration of combustible gases upstream of the porous medium and slowing down the flame propagation speed. The porous medium, on the other hand, effectively absorbs the precursor shock wave and disrupts the positive feedback mechanism, leading to further weakening of the flame propagation speed towards the porous medium and enhancing the quenching performance of the medium. The porous media with high pore density as the second layer of the combined porous media, can block the nitrogen from escaping upstream of the porous media, significantly reducing the concentration of combustible gases upstream, the flame propagation speed then decreases rapidly, and the slowed down flame is more easily quenched by the combined porous media. When the pore density of the second layer increases, the first overpressure peak remains largely unchanged, while the second overpressure peak rises sharply, which increases the risk of explosion. The combination of iron-nickel foam in the first layer and copper foam in the second layer significantly reduces the intensity of the flame when it reaches the porous media and lowers the overpressure peak, while the high strength of iron-nickel foam in front of the copper foam prevents the low strength copper foam from deforming and causing quenching failure. The combination with the best explosion suppression effect is the pore density 10 ppi of iron-nickel foam metal and 40 ppi of copper foam to form a combination of porous media.
