摘要: 最小点火能是可燃气体危险性辨识的重要参数之一。为从理论上得到混合气体的最小点火能,建立了可燃气体火花点火的物理模型,给出了通过数值模拟得到的可燃气体最小点火能量的预测方法,采用该方法得到了甲烷-空气混合气火花点火的临界温度及最小点火能量。结果表明:甲烷-空气混合气的最小点火能量与浓度呈U型关系,浓度为8.5%的预混气的最小点火能量计算值为0.39 mJ,与实验值0.4 mJ吻合较好。Abstract: The minimum ignition energy is one of the important properties to estimate the fatalness of combustible gases. To get a theoretical value of minimum ignition, a physical model of spark ignition of the combustible gases was established, and a minimum ignition energy prediction method of combustible mixtures through a numerical analysis was given. The critical temperature and minimum ignition energy of methane-air mixture during spark ignition process were obtained. The results shows that MIE of methane-air has a U-shaped relationship to concentrations, and the MIE of premixed gas under concentration of 8.5% is 0.39 mJ, which agrees well with the experimental value.
