Experiment ID
| FIKE Experiments in pipelines of diameter 6”/15m (6 concentrations), 10”/25m and 16”/40m pipes
|
Short Description
| Explosion experiments with hydrogen in straight pipes of 3 different diameters (All with L/D = 98) were carried out, for the 6”/15m pipe 6 different gas concentrations were applied.
|
What phenomena were studied
| Flame acceleration in straight pipes, DDT transition distance if applicable
|
What phenomena / effects can be studied
| Flame acceleration in long pipes, DDT
|
Instrumentation
| 12 flame detectors are mounted, as well as 3 pressure transducers
|
Test variables
| Dimension of pipe (6”, 10” and 16”) L/D=98, and H2 concentration (10%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 50%)
|
Data description / Data completeness
| Pressure result in digital form, flame arrivals will be tabulated.
