Abstract:
The mechanisms of propagation of smoldering waves in porous layers of pine sawdust were studied experimentally for cocurrent and opposed airflows in closed (with one open butt–end) and semiclosed (with a flat free surface) systems. We investigated the shape of the smoldering front and the effects of the airflow direction and velocity, combustible-layer porosity, and the dispersity of the sawdust layer on the smoldering wave velocity. Maximum temperature in the smoldering wave is established. In a closed system with airflow velocity higher than 5–7 cm/sec, the smoldering rate is an order of magnitude higher in a cocurrent flow than in an opposed flow. For cocurrent flow, the velocity of a smoldering wave is two orders of magnitude higher in a closed system than in a semiclosed system. The experimental dependences are explained.
