Influence of Special-Purpose Agents Added to Water on the Localization and Suppression of the Combustion of Materials with it

  • HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN COMBUSTION PROCESSES
  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

The heat transfer in the process of passage of droplets of fire-extinguishing compounds through the high-temperature pyrolysis zone of combustible materials was investigated experimentally by optical diagnostics methods with the use of a program-apparatus complex for recording the sizes of droplets. The numerical and volume concentrations of droplets of fire-extinguishing compounds based on water in a finely dispersed aerosol generated in three regimes were determined. The conditions of cessation of the flame combustion and thermal decomposition of a typical combustible material subjected to the action of water, a 5% foamer emulsion, a 10% bischofite solution, and a 20% FR-Les-01 solution were recorded. The sizes of the droplets of the indicated fire-extinguishing compounds and their flow rates necessary and sufficient for the suppression of the flame combustion and thermal decomposition of typical forest combustible materials were determined.
