Fire and explosive objects. Basics of safe life

Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

The complication of technological processes, the increase in the building areas of national economy facilities increase their fire hazard. Fires and explosions with subsequent fires are traditionally dangerous for the territory of Russia. Fires in buildings and structures for industrial, residential, social and cultural purposes remain the most common disaster.

According to explosive, explosion and fire hazard, objects are divided into categories A, B, C, D, D, F, K. K Category A include oil refineries, chemical plants, pipelines, oil product storage facilities; to Category B - workshops for the preparation and transportation of coal dust, wood flour, powdered sugar, flour mills; to category B - sawmills, woodworking, carpentry, furniture, timber industries. Objects of other categories are considered less dangerous.

Consequences of fires and explosions determined by damaging factors such as:

1) open fire and sparks;

2) increased temperature of the environment and objects;

3) toxic combustion products, smoke;

4) reduced oxygen concentration;

5) falling parts of building structures, units, installations, etc.

The damaging factors of the explosion are: 1) an air blast wave, the main parameter of which is the excess pressure in its front;

2) fragmentation fields created by flying fragments of exploding objects, the damaging effect of which is determined by the number of flying fragments and their kinetic energy and radius of expansion.

Principles of extinguishing a fire are based on an understanding of the main ways of stopping combustion: reducing the rate of heat release or increasing the rate of heat removal from the combustion reaction zone. The main condition for this is to reduce the combustion temperature below the temperature below the extinction temperature. This is achieved by following four principles:

1) cooling of the reactants with continuous or sprayed jets of water;

2) by isolating the reactants from the combustion zone with a layer of foam or explosion products, fire-retardant strips or creating a gap in the combustible substance, isolation with a layer of fire-extinguishing powder is possible;

3) dilution of reactants to non-combustible concentrations or concentrations that do not support combustion with water mist or gas-water jets, as well as with water or non-combustible vapors or gases;

4) chemical inhibition of the combustion reaction with fire extinguishing powder or halogen derivatives of hydrocarbons.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

New high precision low power accelerometers 24.06.2008

In April 2008, STMicroelectronics, known as the leading supplier of MEMS sensors used in gaming, multimedia and industrial applications, expanded its sensor portfolio with two new accelerometers in 4x4x1,5mm LGA packages with +2g/+6g programmable measurement range for applications where small size and high quality required.

The 244-axis LIS344ALH and XNUMX-axis LISXNUMXALH accelerometers operate in low power mode with high accuracy and high resolution, which is especially important when using battery power. Analog outputs provide direct measurements of external disturbances and allow designers to optimize external filtering and A/D conversion. The output of the microcircuits has a factory sensitivity calibration, which at the same time allows the final calibration as part of the manufactured device.

The devices also include a built-in self-test function that checks the function of the sensors themselves, as well as a built-in interface to ensure they perform as advertised. Both devices provide motion detection solutions for applications requiring minimal footprint.

These can be: cell phones, portable audio and video players, digital photo or video cameras, personal navigation devices. A wide temperature range from -40 to 85°C and impact resistance up to 10000g acceleration guarantee reliable operation of the sensors under various conditions of use.
