This paper reports on a study investigating the flame-quenching performance of ceramic foam. Experiments were performed primarily with methane oxygen mixtures in vertical transparent tube ignited at bottom-end which is open to atmosphere. The flame quenching foam compared that closely packed spheres. Based measured mixture composition limits it shown for an equivalent flow path diameter spheres better than trend limit results, as characterized by Peclet number, could not be explained...
Porous media are often used in flame arresters because of the high surface area to volume ratio that is required for quenching. However, if not quenched, flow obstruction within porous can promote explosion escalation, which a well-known phenomenon obstacle-laden channels. There many parallels between propagation through and In both cases, obstructions play duel role. On one hand, enhances an early shear-driven turbulence production mechanism then later by shock-flame interactions occur from...
