Hot Surface Ignition Temperature of Dust Layers with and Without Combustible Additives
HOT SURFACE IGNITION TEMPERATURE OF DUST LAYERS WITH AND WITHOUT COMBUSTIBLE ADDITIVES by Haejun Park A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Fire Protection Engineering May 2006 APPROVED: Professor Robert G. Zalosh, Advisor Joseph A. Senecal, Kiddie-Fenwal, Inc., Co-advisor Professor Kathy A. Notarianni, Head of Department Abstract An accumulated combustible dust layer on some hot process equipment such as dryers or hot bearings can be ignited and result in fires when the hot surface temperature is sufficiently high. The ASTM E 2021 test procedure is often used to determine the Hot Surface Minimum Ignition Temperature for a half inch deep layer of a particular dust material. This test procedure was used in this thesis to study possible effects of combustible liquid (such as lubricating oil) and powder additives in the dust layer as well as air flow effects. The following combustible dusts were used: paper dust from a printing press, Arabic gum powder, Pittsburgh seam coal, and brass powder. To develop an improved understanding of the heat transfer, and oxygen mass transfer phenomena occurring in the dust layer, additional instrumentation such as a second thermocouple in the dust layer, an oxygen analyzer and gas sampling line, and an air velocity probe were used in at least some tests. Hot Surface Minimum Ignition temperatures were 220oC for Pittsburgh seam coal, 360oC for paper dust, 270℃ for Arabic gum powder, and > 400oC for brass powder. The addition of 5-10 weight percent stearic acid powder resulted in significantly lower ignition temperature of brass powder. -

Bukowski Hazard Analysis Developing Fire Scenarios and Design Fire Scenarios vailable methods to estimate the potential impact of fire can be divided into two categories: Quantification of Design risk-based and hazard-based. Both types of methods estimate the potential consequences of Fire Scenarios A Prediction of Hazards possible events. Risk-based methods also analyze the likelihood of scenarios occurring, whereas hazard-based methods do not. Fire risk analysis is described more fully in Section 3, Chapter 8, “Fire Risk Analysis.” Section 3, Chapter 9, “Closed Form Enclosure Fire Calculations,” provides Key Terms simple fire growth calculation methods. bounding condition, design The goal of a fire hazards analysis (FHA) is to determine the expected outcome of a specific fire curve, design fire set of conditions called a fire scenario. The scenario includes details of the room dimensions, con- scenario, fire hazard tents, and materials of construction; arrangement of rooms in the building; sources of combustion analysis, fire model, fire air; position of doors; numbers, locations, and characteristics of occupants; and any other details scenario, performance- that have an effect on the outcome of interest. This outcome determination can be made by expert based design, t-squared fire judgment, by probabilistic methods using data from past incidents, or by deterministic means such as fire models. “Fire models” include empirical correlations, computer programs, full-scale and reduced-scale models, and other physical models. The trend today is to use models whenever pos- sible, supplemented if necessary by expert judgment. -
In the Autumn 2011 Edition of the Quiver I Wrote an Article Touching on the Topic of Survival As It Applies to the Bowhunter
In the Autumn 2011 edition of The Quiver I wrote an article touching on the topic of survival as it applies to the bowhunter. In this article I want to talk about fire specifically and the different types of firestarters and techniques available. Fire is an important element in a survival situation as it provides heat for warmth, drying clothes or cooking as well as a psychological boost and if you’re hunting in a spot where you are one of the prey species it can keep predators away as well. There are many ways to start a fire; some ways relatively easy and some that would only be used as a last resort. There are pros and cons to most of these techniques. The most obvious tool for starting a fire is a match. While this is a great way to start a fire in your fireplace or fire pit I personally don’t like to carry matches in my pack or on my person. They are hard to keep dry and you are limited to one fire per match IF you can light a one match fire every time. It would be easy to run out of matches in a hurry as you are limited in how many you could reasonably carry. A Bic lighter or one of the more expensive windproof lighters is a slightly better choice for the bowhunter to carry. They are easy to use, easy to carry, fairly compact, and last for a reasonable amount of “lights”. They don’t work well when wet but can be dried out fairly easily. -
Primitive Fire What If We Had a Local Disaster Like the Haitians And
Primitive Fire What if we had a local disaster like the Haitians and were without utilities or could not live in our homes for an extended time period. How do we Cook, Heat, Purify water and etc.? Many of their citizens are still living in tents and eating mud cakes to satisfy the hunger pains. 2–3 times per month I am asked to teach primitive fire build methods to various groups. Primitive skills are perishable; these skills need to be practiced often. During a disaster our matches and or lighters will fail us at some point - We need to know how to build a life-saving fire using primitive methods. Benefits of Fire: Fire is magic, it has a positive psychological effect – Fire is comforting - Fire is our friend, when we are lonely or frightened. Fire is a tool - With fire we cook - Avoid hypothermia - Warm ourselves - Dry our clothing - Light our way - Signal a friend - Purify our water – Build a fire bed – Use coals to form our tools and etc. Fire Tools: • Fixed blade knife • Fat wood (Lowes Starter Stikks) • Cattails – the hot dog • Ferrocerium rods • Outer bark Juniper – Sage – Birch, • Monk’s cloth and a 4-inch tin with lid Inner bark Cottonwood or Aspen • Pitch / Sap • Dryer filter lint • Mountain man striker / Flint / Agate • Steel wool # 0000 & 9 volt battery • Phragmites flags - Rabbit bush flowers – • 100% cotton balls & & Vaseline Cottonwood or dandelion fluff • Charred Barks / Punk wood / Cloth • Fire bow method: Bow / Drill / Cord / • Jute or Sisal cord Hearth board / Coal catcher / Bearing • 35mm film canister with lid • Parabolic lens from a large flashlight Tool Sources: We purchased several Ferrocerium rods - The BlastMatch broke easily – the StrikeForce & Swedish FireSteel are great. -
Low-Impact Living Initiative
firecraft what is it? It's starting and managing fire, which requires fuel, oxygen and ignition. The more natural methods usually progress from a spark to an ember to a flame in fine, dry material (tinder), to small, thin pieces of wood (kindling) and then to firewood. Early humans collected embers from forest fires, lightning strikes and even volcanic activity. Archaeological evidence puts the first use of fire between 200-400,000 years ago – a time that corresponds to a change in human physique consistent with food being cooked - e.g. smaller stomachs and jaws. The first evidence of people starting fires is from around 10,000 years ago. Here are some ways to start a fire. Friction: rubbing things together to create friction Sitting around a fire has been a relaxing, that generates heat and produces embers. An comforting and community-building activity for example is a bow-drill, but any kind of friction will many millennia. work – e.g. a fire-plough, involving a hardwood stick moving in a groove in a piece of softwood. what are the benefits?

For example, flint creates sparks - tiny shards of hot steel. strikers, fire pistons or lenses don’t need fossil Compression: fire pistons are little cylinders fuels or phosphorus, which require the highly- containing a small amount of tinder, with a piston destructive oil and chemical industries, and that is pushed hard into the cylinder to compress friction methods don’t require the mining, factories the air in it, which raises pressure and and roads required to manufacture anything at all. -

Autoignition Temperature Determinations and Their Relationship to Other Types of Potential Ignition Sources and Their Applicatio
I. CHEM. E. SYMPOSIUM SERIES NO. 58 AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE DETERMINATIONS & THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER TYPES OF POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES & THEIR APPLICATION TO PRACTICAL SITUATIONS D J Lewis Developments in the measurement of autoignition temperature values are reviewed and the differences between various methods noted. For certain applications, the volume of mixture which can potentially ignite is considerably different to that used in laboratory determinations and the effect of volume on autoignition temperature is analysed. A method of extrapolation which links in to data relating to flame kernal establishment by other ignition sources is outlined and the application of autoignition temperature values to practical situations is discussed in detail. INTRODUCTION Standard test methods for the determination of autoignition temperatures of vaporised liquids and gases in air at atmospheric pressure have been available in various forms since 1930. A considerable number of values for different fuels (both as pure materials and mixtures) have been published and have found specific application as regards the selection of electrical equipment for hazardous locations. Recently there have been developments relating to new methods for determining a reaction threshold temperature for liquid and solid materials in air and also regarding the distinction between the temperatures at which cool flame behaviour will be produced and at which normal combustion type flames result. The combination of economic pressures and higher standards of chemical processing safety is leading to the increasing use of autoignition temperature values under conditions widely different from those used to determine them. As a result it is appropriate to review the autoignition temperature test methods and techniques for the application of such values to practical situations.
