摘要
若天然气管道泄漏,与外部火源接触可能导致形成喷射火,对附近的工作人员和设备带来巨大风险.因此,深入研究天然气管道中喷射火焰的燃烧行为显得尤为关键.选取尺寸分别为 0.5、1.0、1.5、2.0、2.5、3.0 mm的 6 种孔径,压力分别为0.5、0.8、1.0、1.2、1.5 MPa,进行不同工况下的天然气管道喷射火试验.结果表明:当天然气燃烧达到稳定时,随着喷射压力和喷嘴口径的增大,火焰高度和热辐射逐渐升高;在孔径为3.0 mm时,火焰最长达到4.32 m,泄漏孔水平位置1.0 m处热辐射最大达到552 W/m2;当孔径在1.5 mm、压力为1.2 MPa时,火焰开始出现抬升现象,随着压力和孔径的增大,抬升现象更加明显.当泄漏孔径在3.0 mm、压力为1.5 MPa时,最大抬升到0.4 m.试验结果为处置天然气管道泄漏喷射火提供了数据依据.
Abstract
When a gas pipeline leaks and comes into contact with an external fire source,it may lead to the formation of jet fire,which poses a huge risk to nearby workers and equipment.There-fore,it is particularly crucial to conduct in-depth research on the combustion behavior of jet flames in gas pipelines.Six types of pore sizes were selected,including 0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0 mm,with pressures of 0.5,0.8,1.0,1.2,1.5 MPa,respec-tively,to conduct jet fire experiments on gas pipelines under dif-ferent operating conditions.The results show that when natural gas combustion reaches stability,the flame height and thermal ra-diation gradually increase with the increase of injection pressure and nozzle diameter;At a 3 mm aperture,the flame reaches a maximum length of 4.32 m,and the maximum thermal radiation reaches 552 W/m2 at a horizontal position of 1m from the leakage hole;When the aperture is 1.5 mm and the pressure is 1.2 MPa,the flame begins to rise.As the pressure and aperture increase,the rise phenomenon becomes more pronounced.When the leak-age aperture is 3 mm and the pressure is 1.5 MPa,the maximum lift is 0.4 m.The experimental values provide guidance for dealing with the situation of jet fire caused by natural gas pipeline leakage.
