Extinguishment of a PMMA fire by water spray with high droplet speeds

Peculiarities of the transit phase transformation regime for water droplets that are slipping in humid gas

“…The water droplet heat and mass transfer at humid atmospheric air is taken into account when assessing atmospheric appearance and creating climate models [1]. Water spray application in air conditioning [2], fire suppression [3][4][5][6][7], gas cooling [8,9] and agricultural irrigation systems [10,11] can be considered as traditional. Heat and mass transfer processes are applied for surface treatment [12][13][14] and protection [15][16][17][18], cooling towers [19][20][21]9,22], washing processes [23][24][25], water freezing and crystallization [26][27][28], aerosols [29,30], gas turbines [31][32][33][34][35], heat recovery from humid flue gas [36,37], NO x reduction in fuel combustion [38][39][40], water and fuel emulsions [41][42][43][44], plasma technique [45]<...>…”

Experimental study on vertical rigid and flexible polyurethane fire suppression using water spray

“…A series of experiments on the fire suppression with water spray were studied. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] For instance, the extinguishment of a self-sustained burning vertical wood slabs by water spray was investigated by Tamanini. 21 Novozhilov 18 overviewed fire suppression studies.…”

Numerical modeling of water spray suppression of conveyor belt fires in a large-scale tunnel

“…Their simulation results indicate that CFD modeling has the capability to reasonably capture the interactions between the water spray and the fire plume, taking in account the effects of momentum exchange, heat and mass transfer, as well as chemical reactions. Yao and Chow (2005) developed a thermal model to study the extinguishment of a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) fire by water spray. The effects of droplet size and velocity, external radiant heat flux, and specimen configuration on fire suppression were investigated.…”
