Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This work presents a dimensional analysis (DA) approach to assess risk and understand the interdependence of various deflagration parameters in dust explosions. Several dimensionless numbers have been derived using the Buckingham -theorem and Ipsen’s method based on key influencing factors, including particle size, dust concentration, interparticle spacing, characteristic length of the explosion chamber, and several physical and chemical properties (e.g., density, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and specific heat of reaction) . The proposed DA framework has been used to study explosibility of high-density polyethylene and aluminum dust samples, which exhibit different reactivity and deflagration mechanisms. Generalized empirical correlations for explosion pressure and rate of pressure rise using the proposed dimensionless numbers have been deduced to predict dust explosibility at varying conditions. This can be useful in understanding dust explosibility and devising safety measures for dust explosion prevention and mitigation.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
