T1 - Mass burning rates of di-tert-butyl peroxide pool fires - experimental study and modeling N2 - Data and predictions for the mass burning rates of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) pool fires (0.003 m < pool diameter < 3 m) are presented. The mass burning rates of DTBP fires are up to five times higher and are less dependent on pool diameter compared to hydrocarbon pool fires caused by an additional heat release rate due to exothermic decomposition reaction in the liquid phase. This heat release rate is calculated using a first-order reaction kinetic obtained from microcalorimetric measurements. A new model is derived considering the heat release rate due to the decomposition reaction, which is shown to be 40% of the heat release rate radiated to the pool surface. With the presented model, which also includes physical quantities, especially the limiting fuel concentration for upward flame propagation, it is possible to predict the mass burning rates of large DTBP pool fires. The predicted values are in very good agreement with the experiments.

T1 - Validated CFD simulation to predict the flame temperatures and species mass fractions of a multiple n-heptane pool fire N2 - The flame temperatures T of a multiple n-heptane pool fire d = 6 cm, N = 5, D/d = 0.33 are measured with type S thermocouples and predicted with Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and an assumed pdf-approach containing a detailed kinetic with 112 species and 800 elementary reactions. Multiple pool fires show higher flame temperatures up to ≈ 200 K in comparison to single pool fires. CFD simulation is in good agreement with the experimental results and a validation is performed. It can be shown that multiple fires have an enhanced air-entrainment leading to an increased formation of OH radicals and consequently to the observed higher flame temperatures.

T1 - Limiting distances for flame merging of multiple n-heptane and di-tert-butyl peroxide pool fires N2 - Experiments to determine the limiting distances for flame merging of multiple pool fires are presented. As model substances n-heptane and di-tert-butyl peroxide are used. Laboratory scale tests with a Diameter d = 6 cm and relative distances between the pools of 0.08 ≤ D/d ≤ 4 are described and complemented with field experiments with a diameter d = 1.5 m and relative distances between the pools of 0.17 ≤ D/d ≤ 1. Three regions for flame merging are observed and limiting distances are determined. A merging Region with the limiting distance Dmerg/d within which all flames merge together over the complete burning time. A transition region with the limiting distance Dtran/d within which some flames merge together while other flames are separated from each other. A separated region within which all flames are completely separated from each other. A correlation against the number of burning pools is presented to predict the limiting distances Dmerg/d und Dtran/d.

T1 - Flame heights of di-tert-butyl peroxide pool fires - experimental study and modelling N2 - The flame heights of di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) pool fires with diameters between 0.03 m < d < 3 m are determined by means of visible images obtained by a VHS video recorder. The time-averaged Hav and maximum flame height Hmax were evaluated according to the intermittency criterion. For the relative time-averaged flame heights values in a range of 3.1 < Hav/d < 14.8 are obtained while the relative maximum flame heights are in a range of 3.5 < Hmax/d < 17.6. The experimental measurements were used to establish a new Froude number correlation.

A1 - Schälike, Stefan T1 - Pool fires and spill fires N2 - Risk is the possibility of suffering damage. In engineering it may be quantified and is assessed as a combination of the expected frequency of an undesired event, e.g., in case of process plants a fire, an explosion, or a toxic release, and the damage associated with this event. Every possibility to suffer damage is a risk if it is uncertain whether it will become reality. Damage and uncertainty therefore are the two elements which determine a risk. If the Magnitude of damage and the uncertainty of its occurrence can be quantified, then a number may be assigned to the corresponding risk, the risk number. Frequently, this number refers to a which is based on a Gaussian model, Guideline part 2 with its physical modeling backbone will probably remain the Standard German Screening model for a couple of years to come.

T1 - CFD simulation of large hydrocarbon and peroxide pool fires N2 - Accidental fires in process Industries often occur as pool fires, which are hazardous to people and adjacent objects because of thermal radiation, largely sooting plumes and formation of other combustion products [1-3]. In addition to experimental pool fire tests, numerical investigation of these fires using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes is becoming more important. In regard to safety, thermal radiation is one ofthe main interests in pool fire research. The Surface Emissive Power (SEP) is a key parameter to characterize thermal radiation emitted by a fire. The derived quantity SEP is usually defined as the heat flux due to thermal radiation in relation to flame surface AF. As well as the SEP, the temperatures Tandirradiances E of pool fires are ofparticular interest. CFD Simulation oflarge pool fires is helpful for abetter understanding of fire dynamics and to reduce the number oflarge-scale experiments. To predict the thermal radiation from the jet engine fuel JP-4 (d = 2, 8,16 and 25 m) and DTBP (di-tert-butyl peroxide, d= 1.12 and 3.4m) pool fires CFD methods are used, and the CFD results are compared with experiments.

T1 - Validation of submodels for CFD simulation of n-hexane pool flames including interferometry N2 - Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation is used to predict transient and time-averaged glame temperatures and species concentrations of an n-hexane pool flame. Employing a combination of an assumed probability density function approach with laminar flamelets using detailed kinetic data and large-eddy simulation with Smagorinsky submodel is shown to be a promising way in modeling pool and tank fires. The measured species concentration and flame temperature profiles from gas chromatography, thermocouple measurements and holographic interferometry are used to validate the submodels for CFD simulation of pool flames.
