| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates optimizing explosion sound levels in propane gas supply systems through a detailed study of stoichiometric air-propane mixtures, focusing on varying filling times and gas pressures. The experiments aimed to identify the optimal conditions for producing consistent and effective explosion sounds. The study involved a series of controlled experiments with filling times set at 2 and 3 seconds and gas pressures ranging from 100 kPa to 157 kPa. Key parameters such as maximum, minimum, mean, and standard deviation of sound levels in decibels (dB) were recorded. The results indicate that a filling time of 2 seconds combined with a gas pressure of 142.86 kPa produces the most optimal explosion sound levels, with a high mean sound level of 109.33 dB and a low standard deviation of 1.2754 dB, indicating both high intensity and excellent consistency. This research highlights the critical relationship between gas pressure, filling time, and explosion sound levels. Higher gas pressures generally result in higher sound intensities, but the variability in sound levels also increases, particularly at pressures above 142.86 kPa. The findings suggest that precise control of gas pressure and filling time is essential for achieving the desired explosion characteristics, ensuring performance and safety. This study's implications extend to the design and operation of propane gas supply systems, offering insights into optimizing combustion processes for various industrial applications. The results provide a foundation for further research into additional parameters and conditions that may influence explosion dynamics, contributing to the development of safer and more efficient combustion systems. In conclusion, this thesis successfully identifies the optimal stoichiometric ratio and operating conditions for air-propane mixtures in achieving efficient and consistent explosion sounds. These findings are essential for advancing the field of combustion engineering, providing practical guidelines for system design and operation in applications requiring controlled explosion sounds. | |
