Abstract

In order to explore the propagation characteristics of explosion and combustion flame of the benzene vapor, explosion and combustion experiments of different concentrations of benzene vapor were carried out in a self-designed 1m transparent explosion test pipeline. The high-speed camera was used to capture images of flame propagation of benzene vapor explosion in the pipeline. The flame images were compared and analyzed. The results show that a violent explosion reaction occurs when the low concentration of premixed benzene vapor-air gases are ignited, and the violent explosion reaction turns into a mild combustion reaction with the increase of concentration of benzene vapor in the premixed gases. The average flame propagation velocity increases with the rise of benzene vapor concentration, and reaches a maximum when the volume fraction of benzene vapor is 2. 8%. Then the velocity decreases with increasing benzene vapor concentration. The propagation process of explosion flame of low concentration benzene vapor can be divided into four stages: a rapid accelerating stage, a rapid decelerating stage, a slow accelerating stage and a slow decelerating stage. The propagation speed of high-concentration benzene vapor flame basically keeps constant, and the flame shape is closely related to flame propagation speed. © 2019 China Safety Science Journal
