Abstract |
Boilover is acknowledged as one of the most harmful problems in oil tank fires. A small-scale oil tank boilover apparatus was established to study the flame behavior during boilover process. Visualization experiments were also conducted to discuss the mechanism of boilover formation. The results indicate that boilover process can be divided into three stages: quasi steady combustion stage, boilover premonitory stage and boilover stage. The formation of boilover results from the reciprocity of bubbles and oil vacuoles generated by absorbing energy released from combustion reaction. |
