Investigation of the parameters of the cooling strength of compression foam when feeding through pumping and hose systems at low temperatures

Abstract

Introduction. The article describes a methodology and a program of experimental studies to determine the parameters of the cooling strength of compression foam when feeding through pumping and hose systems at low temperatures. The numerical values of the parameters of the cooling strength of the compression foam when feeding through the fire hose 20 m long are determined. The experimental dependences of the parameters of the cooling strength of the compression foam on the multiplicity and mass flow are obtained. Goals and objectives. A program and methodology for experimental studies to determine the parameters of the intensity of cooling of compression foam when feeding through pumping and hose systems has been developed. To carry out experimental studies, the following tasks were set: - development of a measuring complex for determining the parameters of the cooling strength of compression foam when feeding through pumping and hose systems at negative temperatures; - determination of the physical model of the movement of the compression foam when feeding through the fire hoses; - development of a program and methodology for experimental research to determine the mass flow rate of compression foam. Methods. Methods of mathematical analysis of statistical data obtained during experimental data were used to determine the parameters of the cooling strength of compression foam when feeding through the pumping and hose systems. Results and its discussion. The numerical value of the cooling of the compression foam when feeding through the pumping-hose systems at low temperatures was obtained experimentally, depending on the multiplicity along the length of the hose line. Conclusions. 1. A program and methodology for conducting experimental studies to determine the parameters of the cooling strength of compression foam when feeding through pumping and hose systems at low temperatures has been developed. 2. As a result of the experimental studies, data were obtained on the rates and parameters of the cooling strength of the compression foam when feeding through fire hoses in winter at various negative temperatures. To measure the parameters of the cooling strength of compression foam when feeding through fire hoses at negative ambient temperatures, a measuring complex was developed and assembled. 3. The data obtained will make it possible to evaluate the parameters of the compression strength of foam cooling when feeding through the pumping and hose systems at low temperatures.
