Aspects of Worker Safety in the Event of Fire and Explosion Situations. Сombustion and Explosion Theory

The article examines the theoretical features of deflagration-type combustion and explosions. It has been established that the variety of causes leading to emergency explosions, as well as the conditions for the formation and ignition of a cloud of flammable mixture formed in an explosive room, determines the different nature of the effect of explosions on building structures. It is shown that the flame speed and quasi-static pressure of a deflagration explosion significantly influence the nature of destruction of enclosing structures. It has been established that in the event of a gas explosion in a building, it is extremely important to mitigate the consequences for both users and the structure, and damping the explosion wave using ventilation ducts is a highly effective method of protecting building structures.
