Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of dust explosion hazard research technology, specifically involving a method and electronic equipment for predicting and assessing dust explosion winds. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous acceleration of modern industrialization and the rise of new material applications, powders, as raw materials, intermediate products and byproducts of industrial products, have increasingly participated in the large-scale and mechanized production of various industries. The number of enterprises involving powders has increased significantly, and dust explosion accidents have occurred frequently in these enterprises, causing serious casualties and property losses.
[0003] Related studies indicate that dust explosions within confined spaces involve multiple physical and chemical reaction processes and are highly susceptible to the combined effects of factors such as the release coefficient, opening pressure, and dust dispersion time. Furthermore, compared to flammable gas explosions, dust explosions exhibit a slower pressure rise, a longer duration of high pressure, and a greater release of energy, resulting in more severe destructiveness and burning of surrounding combustibles. Moreover, some dust explosions show a jump-like acceleration and increase in reaction rate and explosion pressure as the explosion continues, with the destruction becoming more severe the further away from the detonation point. Additionally, the blast wave generated by the initial dust explosion can stir up deposited dust, forming an explosive mixture in the new space, potentially leading to a secondary explosion. Secondary explosions are often higher in pressure and more destructive than the initial explosion; in continuous production systems, secondary explosions may even occur consecutively, forming a chain reaction, some reaching the level of detonation. This further increases the uncertainty and complexity of the external explosion dynamics process in dust explosions.
[0004] However, it is still difficult to accurately predict and assess the maximum peak wind speed of dust explosions under the combined effect of multiple factors, which restricts the scientific prevention and control of such disasters. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To at least partially overcome the problems existing in the related technologies, this application provides a method and electronic device for predicting and assessing dust explosion winds, in order to solve the technical problem of lacking effective methods and tools for predicting and assessing maximum peak wind speeds during the prevention and control of dust explosion accidents.

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0041] As described in the background section, relevant studies have shown that dust explosions within confined spaces involve multiple physical and chemical reaction processes and are highly susceptible to the combined effects of factors such as the release coefficient, opening pressure, and dust dispersion time. Furthermore, compared to flammable gas explosions, dust explosions exhibit a slower pressure rise, a longer duration of high pressure, and release greater energy, resulting in more severe destructiveness and burning of surrounding combustibles. Moreover, some dust explosions show a jump-like acceleration and increase in reaction rate and explosion pressure as the explosion continues, with the destruction becoming more severe the further away from the detonation point. Additionally, the blast wave generated by the initial dust explosion can stir up deposited dust, forming an explosive mixture in the new space, potentially leading to a secondary explosion. Secondary explosions are often more powerful and destructive than the initial explosion; in continuous production systems, secondary explosions may even occur consecutively, forming a chain reaction, some reaching the level of detonation. This further increases the uncertainty and complexity of the external explosion dynamics process in dust explosions.
[0042] However, it is still difficult to accurately predict and assess the maximum peak wind speed of dust explosions under the combined effect of multiple factors, which restricts the scientific prevention and control of such disasters.
[0043] In response to this, this application proposes a method for predicting and assessing dust explosion winds, based on the disaster-causing mechanism and evolution mechanism of dust confined explosions and taking into full account factors such as the discharge coefficient, the opening pressure of the explosion venting surface, and the dust dispersion time.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the method for predicting and assessing dust explosion winds proposed in this application includes:
[0045] Step S110: Investigate the dust explosion accident site and obtain the technical parameter data of the object to be evaluated;
[0046] It's easy to understand that the investigation here is generally conducted by personnel involved in accident investigations. For example, if a dust explosion occurs in a factory, the on-site accident investigation finds that the explosion originated in Workshop 2. The obtained technical parameters include: the dimensions (length × width × height) of the workshop where the explosion occurred are 6m × 3m × 3m; the explosion venting coefficient of the workshop's explosion venting surface is 0.04; and the window glass opening pressure P... v =0.05MPa, opening time 0s, on-site dust is aluminum powder and the dust dispersion time is 200s;
[0047] Then, in step S120, the key parameter data in the technical parameter data are input into the pre-built maximum peak wind speed evaluation model for evaluation and calculation to obtain the corresponding maximum peak wind speed evaluation value.
[0048] Specifically, in the technical solution of this application, the key parameters mainly refer to the explosion relief surface discharge coefficient, the explosion relief surface opening pressure, and the dust dispersion time;
[0049] For example, in this embodiment, the parameter type of the key parameter data is the explosion venting surface discharge coefficient, and its corresponding wind speed evaluation model is expressed as follows:
[0050]
[0051] In expression (1), v max K represents the maximum peak wind speed. v This indicates the venting coefficient of the explosion venting surface.
[0052] Continuing with the example above, let's take K... v Substituting 0.04 into expression (1), the corresponding maximum peak wind speed assessment value v is obtained. max =1443m / s.
[0053] Similarly, for example, if the key parameter data is of the explosion relief face opening pressure, its corresponding wind speed assessment model is expressed as:
[0054] v max =1157.28P v +1441.26 (2)
[0055] In expression (2), v max P represents the maximum peak wind speed. v This indicates the pressure required to open the venting surface.
[0056] Continuing with the example above, let P... v Substituting 0.05MPa into expression (2), the corresponding maximum peak wind speed assessment value v is obtained. maxx =1499m / s.
[0057] Similarly, for example, if the key parameter data is of the dust dispersion time type, the corresponding wind speed assessment model is as follows:
[0058]
[0059] In expression (3), v max t represents the maximum peak wind speed. d Indicates the dust dispersion time.
[0060] Continuing with the previous example, substituting the dispersion time of 200s into expression (3), the corresponding maximum peak wind speed assessment value v is obtained. max =1370m / s.
[0061] After step S120, proceed to step S130, compare the maximum peak wind speed evaluation values obtained in step S120, and output the maximum peak wind speed evaluation value as the evaluation result.
[0062] Continuing with the example above, it is clear that the predicted and assessed result for the maximum peak wind speed in the dust explosion accident in Workshop 2 of the factory is 1499 m / s.
[0063] The technical solution of this application assesses the wind speed of dust explosions by pre-constructing a maximum peak wind speed assessment model and finally obtains the assessment results. This method effectively realizes the assessment and prediction of the peak wind speed of dust explosions. The overall method is fast and accurate, providing powerful methodological tools for disaster relief and accident investigation and analysis of dust explosion accidents. This is conducive to the effective control of dust explosion accidents and timely accident investigation and analysis.
[0064] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, the construction process of the maximum peak wind speed evaluation model in the technical solution of this application will be introduced and explained below.
[0065] In summary, this application uses numerical simulation and mathematical statistical analysis methods to construct a maximum peak wind speed assessment model.
[0066] Specifically, firstly, a key parameter needs to be taken as the research object, and the influence of the key parameter on the maximum peak wind speed in the dust explosion needs to be determined by simulation methods, and the corresponding experimental data can be obtained. For example, a numerical calculation physical model can be created, and dust explosion simulation software (such as ANSYS-Fluent software) can be used to perform simulation to obtain experimental data.
[0067] Subsequently, the obtained experimental data were fitted to establish an evaluation model for the maximum peak wind speed of this key parameter.
[0068] For example, in one embodiment, the venting coefficient is selected as the research object. Based on the general characteristics of dust explosion hazards in a confined space, a numerical calculation physical model is created as a cuboid room with dimensions of 6m (length) × 3m (width) × 3m (height). A square venting surface is set on a relatively small wall, which completely ruptures immediately upon reaching a set opening pressure. The venting surface is located at the geometric center of the wall. There are no obstructions in the room, and the floor, ceiling, and walls are all set as rigid surfaces. The ignition source is located at the geometric center of the rear wall of the room, 0.1m away from the rear wall, with a radius of 0.015m. Aluminum powder is selected as the explosion source, and the aluminum powder is uniformly distributed upon ignition. The initial environmental pressure and initial temperature in the computational domain are set to 1.01325 × 10⁵ Pa and 300 K, respectively. All measuring points are located on the central axis of the room. Measuring point 1 is 0.5m away from the rear wall, and the remaining measuring points are arranged at equal intervals of 0.5m.
[0069] To investigate the influence of the venting coefficient on the maximum peak wind speed, five room models with different venting coefficients (based on the above numerical calculation physical model, with adjustments made to the venting surface) were set up, involving venting coefficients ranging from 0.04 to 0.37. Numerical simulation experiments were conducted using software tools, and a total of five sets of results were obtained. The relevant numerical simulation results are shown in Table 1 below:
[0070] Table 1. Calculation model parameters and results for parameters affecting the discharge coefficient.
[0071]
[0072]
[0073] The explosion relief surface discharge coefficient (discharge coefficient) is a parameter used to represent the relative size between the explosion relief surface and the explosion chamber cavity. It has a strong influence on the maximum peak wind speed. Table 1 shows the maximum peak wind speed data under different discharge coefficients. As the discharge coefficient increases, the maximum peak wind speed shows a monotonically decreasing trend and the decreasing trend gradually slows down.
[0074] Based on the experimental data shown in Table 1, data fitting was performed to establish the relationship between the maximum peak wind speed and the discharge coefficient (e.g., ...). Figure 2The figure shows a graphical representation of this relationship, thus obtaining the maximum peak wind speed assessment model corresponding to the key parameter of the discharge coefficient (as shown in expression (1)).
[0075] Similarly, in one embodiment, the opening pressure was selected as the research object, and a similar numerical calculation physical model was created. To examine the influence of the opening pressure on the maximum peak wind speed, five room models with different opening pressures were set up, involving an opening pressure range of 0.01MPa-0.05MPa. Numerical simulation experiments were conducted using software tools, and a total of five sets of result data were obtained. The relevant numerical simulation results are shown in Table 2 below:
[0076] Table 2. Calculation model parameters and results for parameters affecting the opening pressure of the explosion relief surface.
[0077]
[0078] Table 2 shows the variation of maximum peak wind speed with the opening pressure of the venting surface. As the opening pressure increases, the maximum peak wind speed exhibits a monotonically increasing trend. Based on the experimental data shown in Table 2, data fitting was performed to establish the relationship between the maximum peak wind speed and the opening pressure (e.g., ...). Figure 3 The figure shows a graphical representation of this relationship, thus obtaining the evaluation model of the maximum peak wind speed corresponding to the key parameter of opening pressure (as shown in expression (2)).
[0079] Similarly, in one embodiment, dispersion time was selected as the research object, and a similar numerical calculation physical model was created. To examine the influence of dispersion pressure on the maximum peak wind speed, five room models with different aluminum powder dispersion times, ranging from 40s to 200s, were set up. Numerical simulation experiments were conducted using software tools, and a total of five sets of results were obtained. The relevant numerical simulation results are shown in Table 3 below:
[0080] Table 3. Calculation model parameters and results for parameters affecting aluminum powder dispersion time.
[0081]
[0082] Table 3 shows the variation of the maximum peak wind speed under different aluminum powder dispersion times. As can be seen from Table 3, with the increase of aluminum powder dispersion time, the maximum peak wind speed shows a monotonically increasing trend and the rate of increase gradually decreases.
[0083] Based on the experimental data shown in Table 3, data fitting was performed to establish the relationship between the maximum peak wind speed and the dispersion time (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The figure shows a graphical representation of this relationship, thus obtaining the evaluation model of the maximum peak wind speed corresponding to the key parameter of opening pressure (as shown in expression (3)).

[0085] Memory 401, on which an executable program is stored;
[0086] Processor 402 is used to execute the executable program in memory 401 to implement the steps of the above method.
