Description
Summary:To study the ignition energy characteristics and explosion propagation law of coal dust cloud, a kind of coal dust cloud is studied through experiment and numerical simulation under different conditions. The result indicated that ignition delay time and dust spray pressure have obvious effects on the minimum ignition energy of coal dust cloud. CFD theory is used to simulate the explosion flame propagation. It is found that the simulation error of flame propagation distance is acceptable and the simulation result is consistent with the experimental result. When the spray pressure is 0.06 MPa, the flame propagation distance is the farthest, indicating that the turbulence of coal dust cloud is the largest at this condition. As the ignition temperature increases, the flame propagation distance continues to increase, proving that ignition temperature has an obvious effect on the flame propagation process of coal dust cloud explosion.
