Abstract:

The existing fire-extinguishing plants have a lot of problems. For example, the amount of extinguishant is very large, mix is uneven, extinguishant is easy to splash, harmful to the human, the system structure is complex, spray nozzle is demanding and so on. And the open literature sources on the marine fire hydrant are very few. Besides because of the difficulty of numerical simulation of two-phase flow, the research on numerical simulation of the marine fire hydrant is hardly any. In this thesis, a new-style marine fire hydrant is designed to be small volume, easy to use and low pressure lost. It blends the gas to water through its special structure. It regards the gas-water mixture as the extinguishant. In this way, the water flow can be soften, and reduce the splash. The extinguishant can overlay the burnable body uniformly. At last, reach the better extinguishant under the dual effect of the oxygen exclusion and cooling.
