Tabular Method

Based on analysis of appropriate literary sources we established that estimation of fire separation distances was based of two criteria: heat flux and temperature. We proposed to use “ignition temperature of materials” as principal criterion when determining fire separation distances between adjacent construction facilities. Based on the results derived while performing complete factorial we created mathematical model to describe trend of changing fire separation distances depending on caloric power of fire load (Q), openings factor of the external enclosing structures (k) and duration of irradiation (t); moreover, its adequacy was confirmed. Based on linear regression equations we substantiated calculation and tabular method for the determination of fire separation distances for a facility being irradiated which contains combustible or otherwise non-combustible façade and a facility where liquid oil products turn. We developed and proposed general methodology for estimation of fire separation distances between construction facilities by calculation.

Unique Approach

The article presents a computer model of the fire extinguishing process using mist nozzles. A previously developed hybrid fire model was used for this purpose. Assumptions and relationships were given to represent a math­ematical model of extinguishing process, which comprises a unique approach to the determination of sprinkling area in an elementary cell of field fire model. A description of simulation tests of the model was given for several different input data, differing by mean diameters of droplets. This enabled a study of their effects on such output parameters as received heat flux, temperature and rate of its growth. For one selected computational cell located on the axis of the nozzle at floor level having the coordinates [10, 10, 1], the obtained results were presented in the form of heat flux and temperature. To simplify the analysis, characteristic parameters of particular curves were listed in the table. Conclusions formulated on the basis of results obtained during tests were specified at the end of work. They confirmed the expected regularity assuming that the extinguishing process was more effective in the case of droplets of a smaller diameter and greater sprinkling intensity. This allows assessing the degree, to which these stream parameters affect the extinguishing effectiveness.

Heat Flux Model

A model for unsteady droplet vaporization is presented that considers the droplet temperature range from flash-boiling conditions to normal evaporation. The theory of continuous thermodynamics was used to model the properties and compositions of multicomponent fuels such as gasoline. In order to model the change of evaporation rate from normal to boiling conditions more realistically, an unsteady internal heat flux model and a new model for the determination of the droplet surface temperature is proposed. An explicit form of the equation to determine the heat flux from the surrounding gas mixture to the droplet-gas interface was obtained from an approximate solution of the quasi-steady energy equation for the surrounding gas mixture, with the inter-diffusion of fuel vapor and the surrounding gas taken into account. The model was applied to calculate evaporation processes of droplets for various ambient temperatures and droplet temperatures.
