The article of given research presents the mathematical and computer modeling of flame attenuation in narrow channels for different fire extinguishing and explosion suppression compositions. Such kind of flame distribution and attenuation could be considered for different media and channels but in this case it was considered for narrow channels. The effect on the combustion reaction is possible with gas mixture components concentration reducing, cooling the combustion zone and slowing down of chain reactions with the help of a phlegmatizing or inhibiting substances, of which the most universal and perspective are powder materials. Therefore, a necessary condition for solving the problems of developing effective flame arresters is to find common indicators and properties of substances that can become criteria for their phlegmatizing ability. The computer model in MatLab was created for methane allowing the choice of diameter and length of channel and velocity of explosion suppression composition, showing the dependence of temperature on length of channel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
