Abstract:
In order to investigate the overpressure and flame propagation characteristics of gas explosions in turning pipelines, this study designed a transparent organic glass pipeline test system with different turning angles (30°, 60°, 90°, 120°, and 150°) and conducted a series of experimental studies to analyze the explosion shock wave overpressure and flame propagation behavior. The experimental results show that with the increase of the turning angle of the pipeline, the overpressure of the explosion shock wave significantly increases. In terms of flame propagation characteristics, when the turning angle is small, the flame can adhere to the outer wall of the pipeline corner and gradually fill the entire pipeline section. When the turning angle increases, the flame forms a blank area near the outer wall of the corner, and the blank area expands with the increase in the corner. In addition, the increase in the turning angle promotes the increase in the velocity of the explosion flame front. The research results of this review are of great significance for a deeper understanding of the mechanism of gas explosions in turning pipelines and evaluating their potential hazards.
