The Experimental Study and Simplified Model of Water Mist Absorbing Heat Radiation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The small-scale experiments of water mist extinguishing cardboard fire were carried out. Thermocouples and heat radiation sensor were used to measure the fire temperature and radiation heat flux of the burning area. The variation characteristics of the combustion field radiation heat flux under different spray pressure were studied. The results show that: the spray pressure has a significant influence on the extinguishing process. Based on the experiments, The simplified model of water mist absorbing heat radiation has been established, the results of this model agree well with the results of the experiments, and is good for predicting the effect of water mist particle diameter.
