Creation of Mathematical and Computer Models of the Dynamics of Flame Propagation of Air-Suspended Solids in Various Rocks Using Matlab Environment

Abstract

The propagation of transient, air-suspended solids in a vented explosion chamber is numerically investigated by a dynamic formulation for the Concentration Limit of Flame Propagation (CLFP) with the GUI MATLAB environment. The geomechanics is modeled by a one-step overall reaction, which simulates the reaction of a stoichiometric propane– air-suspended solids. The CLFP modeling in the reaction rate model is numerically employed with mathematical models on basis Antoine's equation. This is based on an empirical correlation of the velocity fluctuations and implemented as interface with input-output data with graphic realization. The computer modeling show that the dynamic CLFP models provide superior results as general implementation of physical process of flame propagation and could be used for different rocks (f.e. granite, limestone, sandstone etc).
