Study of the combustion process of flammable liquids in open areas and its impact on the environment

Abstract

The combustion of flammable substances in an open area negatively affects the environment and environmental safety. Emissions of harmful substances, including carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides, pollute the atmosphere, threatening air quality and contributing to the greenhouse effect. Combustion of flammable liquids also entails contamination of soil and water resources, with a negative impact on the natural environment. Fires and accidents are associated with threats to the environment and society. Studies of the dynamics of the combustion temperature of flammable liquids have identified three main stages: flame propagation, combustion during evaporation of the liquid, and combustion during boiling of the liquid. The experimental data obtained have the potential for environmental assessment and improvement of models that predict emissions parameters and their impact on natural ecosystems, and calculations of heat flows that have a detrimental effect on the environment. These data can also be used to estimate the heat flux generated by the combustion of hydrocarbons in open air, a key parameter for environmental impact assessment. Research has made significant contributions to the field of environmental safety, helping to reduce risks to ecosystems and reduce negative impacts on the environment.
