SELECTION OF PARAMETERS FOR ASSESSING THE PROBABILITY OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION OF VAPOR-GAS-AIR MIXTURES AND THEIR CONSEQUENCES

The article is devoted to the selection of parameters that allows one to assess the probability and consequences of a fire and explosion of vapor-gas-air mixtures. A review of literature sources devoted to the study of fires and explosions associated with the ignition of vapor-gas-air mixtures is carried out. The study of fires and explosions of vapor-gas-air mixtures in the normative and technical literature is considered in detail. The main calculation parameters are given to assess the probability and consequences of a fire and the explosion of vapor-gas-air mixtures. Characteristics of combustion and explosion of vapor-gas-air mixtures are also considered. It is shown that the timely determination of the causes of fires and explosions of vapor-gas-air mixtures makes it possible to lower the probability of their occurrence.
