Effect of harmonic heat flux variation on solid material piloted ignition
نویسنده
چکیده
This study aims at modeling the effect of incoming heat flux fluctuations on solid material ignition. In order to propose a general methodology that can be applied to any kind of solid target, kernels accounting for the target temperature response regarding an incoming heat flux are developed for thermally thick and thin solids with low or high thermal inertia. The expected behavior of these different target types during ignition is therefore discussed, based on the kernel analysis. A Fourier decomposition of the incoming heat flux is then used to calculate the target response to harmonic heat fluxes, allowing description of the different target type behavior. Finally, the practical meaning of these harmonic fluctuations and their effects on target ignition is discussed based on the previous analytical results, allowing to discriminate situations where ignition time is predictable from situations where ignition time is unpredictable.

Ignition of Wood a Review of the State of the Art
This review encompasses the available practical and experimental data on the ignition of solid wood. Only solid, natural wood is considered, not sawdust, chips, or products that have been treated with fire retardants or other substances, nor is the ignition of living trees. Panel products such as plywood or particleboard have ignition properties very similar to solid wood, so the solid-wood res...
متن کاملA Review on Ignition of Cellulose Materials under External Heat Flux
Ignition is the initial stage of burning the materials. The consequent flame spread over the materials, heat release rate, fire spread across the rooms, and other issues for building fires all depend on that. Numerous studies on the ignition of cellulose materials, especially wood, were reported in the literature. There are smoldering or glowing ignition (self-heating ignition) and flaming igni...

In this work, the effect of seven different sample orientations from 0° to 90° on pilot and non-pilot ignition of PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)) exposed to radiation has been studied with experimental and numerical methods. Some new and significant conclusions are drawn from the study, including a U-shape curve of ignition time and critical mass flux as sample angle increases for pilot igniti...

Ignition is the initial stage of burning the materials. Consequent flame spread over the materials, heat release rate, fire spread across the rooms, and other issues for building fires all depend on that.

متن کاملIgnition properties of thermally thin plastics: the effectiveness of non-competitive char formation in reducing flammability
The retardancy effect of char formation upon the flammability of thermally thin products is investigated. The char is formed in a single-step non-competitive scheme and is assumed to be thermally stable. The criterion for ignition is that of a critical mass flux of volatiles from the solid into the gas phase. Both steady-state and transient formulations of the model are considered. In the high ...
