Description:
In this article, experimental evidences of the special phenomenon of the secondary explosion of gasoline-air mixture were presented in the first place, and then, the causes for the secondary explosion were discussed. At last, effects of concentration on the secondary explosion were studied in detail through multiple experiments carried out in a cylinder tunnel with a solid heating device. Based on the experimental results analysis, the critical concentration for the secondary explosion of the gasoline-air mixture in the confined tunnel were discussed. Results indicated that main causes for the secondary explosion could be summarized as 4 points. Whether the secondary explosion occurred or not was determined by critical gasoline vapour and oxygen concentration even if the temperature was maintained in a reasonable scope. When the concentration of the gasoline vapour was as low as 0.45% and the oxygen as low as 10.4%, the secondary explosion still could be triggered.
