Abstract
Hydrogenation of methane (CH4) is an important means of achieving energy savings and large-scale hydrogen (H2) transportation. Explosion venting is considered to be an effective method to reduce the risk of gas explosions. To investigate the parameters of the explosion characteristics of CH4/H2/Air premixed fuel under venting conditions, the explosion characteristics and the dynamic propagation law of venting flame in CH4/Air mixtures with 5% concentration were studied in 20 L and 40 L square explosion venting vessels. The development process of flames inside vessels, the evolution characteristics of explosive venting flames, and the changes in explosion pressure were tested using a high-speed camera and pressure sensors. The maximum explosion pressure, the maximum explosion pressure rise rate, and the maximum flame velocity increased first and then decreased with the addition of H2. However, the maximum flame length increased continuously with the increase of H2. With the increase of hydrogenation, the maximum flame area showed an exponential increase. At equivalence ratio less than 1, the effect of hydrogenation on the flame area was much attenuated than that at equivalence ratio was greater than 1.
