INFLUENCE OF GASEOUS MIXTURE COMPOSITION AND BURNER PARAMETERS ON VERTICAL TORCH LENGTH IN QUIESCENT AIR

摘要

A length of a torch in still air is one of important parameters, which are needed for evaluating the fire hazard of accidental releases of flammable gases from industrial vessels and pipelines. However, there exist only little experimental and theoretical data for releases of mixtures of flammable and nonflammable gases (see, for example, [1-6]). Therefore, the investigations of the influence of various parameters on the flame length of various mixtures of hydrogen with gaseous additives were performed.
