Abstract
In the wood processing industry, wood dust commonly mixes with other processing by-products to form piles, which generally have large voidage due to differences in component sizes. It is essential to understand the effect of voidage on the true ignition and smoldering behavior of wood dust layer on hot plates. In this study, wood dust and shavings were selected as experimental materials. The effects of voidage on the minimum ignition temperature of the dust layer (MITL), ignition delay time, and smoldering behaviors were investigated by means of a hot plate test. The results showed that the addition of large-sized shaving particles significantly enhanced the overall voidage of the dust layer. With the increased deposit voidage, the ignition delay time decreased, and smoldering propagation accelerated. When the shavings content was less than 50%, the MITL decreased; however, further addition of shavings significantly increased the MITL. The analysis shows that voidage affects the ignition and smoldering behavior of the dust layer mainly by influencing oxygen transport and heat transfer processes. These findings offer a new insight for the prevention and control of dust fires under real working conditions.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Advanced Powder Technology is to meet the demand for an international journal that integrates all aspects of science and technology research on powder and particulate materials. The journal fulfills this purpose by publishing original research papers, rapid communications, reviews, and translated articles by prominent researchers worldwide.
The editorial work of Advanced Powder Technology, which was founded as the International Journal of the Society of Powder Technology, Japan, is now shared by distinguished board members, who operate in a unique framework designed to respond to the increasing global demand for articles on not only powder and particles, but also on various materials produced from them.
Advanced Powder Technology covers various areas, but a discussion of powder and particles is required in articles. Topics include: Production of powder and particulate materials in gases and liquids(nanoparticles, fine ceramics, pharmaceuticals, novel functional materials, etc.); Aerosol and colloidal processing; Powder and particle characterization; Dynamics and phenomena; Calculation and simulation (CFD, DEM, Monte Carlo method, population balance, etc.); Measurement and control of powder processes; Particle modification; Comminution; Powder handling and operations (storage, transport, granulation, separation, fluidization, etc.)
