Process of extinction, expantion and controlling of fire flames thru acoustic

Abstract

Process of extinguishing, expansion, and controlling of the fire flames by acoustic action, where utilizes the pressure alteration causing rarefactions and compressions in the particles generated by the acoustic waves in a combustible, oxidizing, or mixed environment. The factors that influence the control of the flames intensity are: AMPLITUDE, the FREQUENCY and the STANDING WAVE MODE. The standing wave produces two effects: the node and the womb, so the position of the node we get the flame extinguished and the position of the womb to increase the flame. When the rarefactions frequency and amplitude are greater than the burning rate then the flame is diminished until it is off. When the resonance occurs (ω=ω 0 ) between the flame's natural frequency (ω 0 ) and the sound emitted (ω) there is the combustion extinguishing, when (ω) is close to (ω 0 ) there is an increase of flames (ω 0 ). By applying high amplitude and high frequency an acoustic current is created that increases the flame intensity, by means of turbulent combustion, where a better mixing of the components occurs not only in simple burners or complex burners. With the association of sources we obtain the phenomenon of interference which together with the acoustic current increases the efficiency of the mixing of the reactants, or focusing in the rarefaction for the production of the acoustic barrier against the flames.
