Forecasting the influence of the guided flame on the combustibility of timber species using artificial intelligence
Case Studies in Thermal Engineering(2022)
摘要
This paper anticipates the burning rate and optical obscuration characteristics of a 10 mm thick timber species often used in buildings under the influence of a guided flame condition with heat fluxes of 25 kW/m2 and 50 kW/m2. The smoke density chamber was used to test the wood species Pinus strobus, Pinus kesiya, Quercus alba, and Faqus sylvatica. The experimental data: time, specific gravity, mass loss, and heat flow were used as input variables to an artificial neural network (ANN) model. ANN with structure of 4-64-32-2 was built and validated, the results revealed that, the correctness of the established simulation was proven by a high value of R2 (0.99292 for validation) and highest validation performance (MSE = 17.809 at epoch 12). When the heat flow was reduced from 50 kW/m2 to 25 kW/m2, Quercus had the greatest drop in mass optical density (MOD). In the case of 25 kW/m2, the average charring rate was roughly 0.57 mm/min, compared to 0.96 mm/min in the case of 50 kW/m2. The MOD declines asymptotically for all species regardless of heat flux. The findings give statistical support and theoretical reference for fire-related construction norms and standards.
