Shebeko, Yu. N., Smolin, I. M., Korolchenko, A., Shevchuk, A. P. and Borodkin, A. N., 1995. Fire - And Explosion Safety Of Large Lpg Storages. AOFST 2


ABSTRACT

Results of experimental and theoretical investigations of fire - and explosion hazard of LPG storages are presented. EFlame Spread, Thin Solid Combustible, Temperature Profiles, Opposed-Flowaporation intensity from LPG pool and thermal radiation intensity distribution on the surface of cylindrical vessel with LPG from pool fire placed near the vessel were measured. Available mathematical models were verified and new models were proposed for such processes, as evaporation from pool, dispersion of vapour clouds, vapour cloud explosion, behaviour of vessel with LPG placed near pool fire, BLEVE, thermal radiation from pool fire. The results are used for ensuring of fire - and explosion safety of objects with LPG storages.
