Estimating ignition time of solid exposed to increasing-steady thermal radiation
Tóm tắt
This contribution presents an alternative methodology to predict ignition of solid under increasing-steady heat flux, which may be irradiated from the smoke layer with time-dependent temperature. An approximate analytical solution, using ignition temperature criterion, is proposed and two typical heating conditions, linear- and t2-steady heat fluxes, are emphasized. The critical increasing rate of heat flux and the critical transition time, guaranteeing non-ignition in the first stage, are quantitatively assessed. Two explicit ignition time correlations are derived for low and high heat fluxes in the second stage, and the thresholds separating the application regimes of the two correlations are also provided. PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) and a previously developed numerical model are employed to validate the reliability of the analytical model and the accuracies of the approximations used. The results show that under the designed four sets of increasing-steady heat fluxes, the analytically predicted surface temperatures and ignition times match the simulation results well. Using the calculated ignition time, the linear dependency of ignition time on the squared critical energy is also found valid in current study. Meanwhile, the effect of critical temperature on ignition time predictions is quantitatively examined by parametric study.
