Mechanism of Flashback in Horizontal Smoldering of Polyurethane Foam: A Numerical Study
Proceedings of the Combustion Institute（2022）
Univ Sci & Technol China
Abstract
Smoldering of polyurethane foam continues to attract the attention of the fire community because of its potential of causing severe fire hazards. Our previous work observed a unique flashback phenomenon denoting the reversal spread of horizontal smoldering front. This work further develops a one-dimensional model of foam smoldering via Gpyro to examine the flashback mechanism. The model adopts a 6-step reaction scheme consisting of two pyrolysis and four oxidation reactions based on thermogravimetric analysis. Comparison with the experimental results indicates that the computational model successfully reproduces the flashback phenomenon and explains the flashback mechanism. From the view of chemical kinetics, the initial pyrolysis of foam is followed by the oxidation of β-foam during the 1st stage with a lower peak temperature and limited oxygen supply, and the flashback in the 2nd stage is mainly dominated by char oxidation, which results in more heat releases and a higher peak temperature. The rapid temperature rise at the end of the 2nd stage, causing the maximum temperature in the whole smoldering process, is attributable to the oxidation of α-char (secondary char oxidation).

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
