Abstract

This experimental study focused on the inhibition of ultrafine water mist on hydrogen explosion inside the closed vessel. The inhibition law and mechanism were studied through changes of explosion intensity, flame propagation velocity and temperature under different mist concentrations. Results indicate that flame propagation and pressure rise inside the closed vessel were corresponding. Explosion intensity was reduced after adding mist, which was mainly manifested in the reductions of explosion pressure and flame propagation velocity. Flame was accelerated to extinguish and the inhibition effect was enhanced with increasing mist concentration. However, the explosion prussure did not present obvious reduction as the mist concentration reached a certain value. Besides, it indicates that the absoption heat effect of ultrafine water mist was an important factor on hydrogen explosion inhibition by the reductions of flame temperature and propagation velocity. The inhibition effect was mainly attributed to the combination effect of physical and chemical inhibitions.
