| Abstract: | This project applies the method of safety evaluation to estimate the safety of the production process in steel mills and uses Pyrosim software to build a detailed fire simulation model. To analyze when a real fire occurs in a steel factory, the temperature distribution in the plant area, and the concentration of toxic and harmful gases changes over time. Described the variation patterns of flame heat release rate, flame plume shape, and thermal radiation intensity distribution during converter fire. This study will also highlight the smoke spreading law of building fire and development of the fire process. As for converter fires, a large number of toxic and harmful gases are usually produced, and people always die of poisoning and suffocation. So, based on the results of fire simulation, the fire safety system will be designed to reduce casualties caused by smoke poisoning, which will be able to provide good convenience for rescue work after fire. |
