Abstract

The features of powder explosion propagation in closed equipment and equipment with explosion venting are considered. A near proportional dependence of maximum explosion pressure from initial pressure value in closed vessels is observed. The increase of ignition delay from lowest value 0.3 sec to about 1 s results in marked decrease of maximum rate of pressure rise, whereas the maximum explosion pressure is comparatively independent for the ignition delay. Transition mechanisms from laminar combustion to turbulent combustion and following acceleration of powder flames up to detonation speed are considered. This characteristic phenomenon occurs by powder inflammation in technological equipment and flame front propagation in attached to equipment long exhaust duct with dispersion of sediment dust by blast wave.
