Analysis of fire and explosion hazards of some hydrocarbon-air mixtures.
Hazards caused by leakage of hydrocarbons have long been a problem. In this paper, the critical initiation energy and explosion limits of some hydrocarbon-air mixtures have been measured in confined (rectangle shock tube) and unconfined (plastic bag) condition tests. Two dimensionless parameters are suggested to compare the fire and explosion hazards of different hydrocarbons. Additionally, a s...
متن کاملMethods of Quantifying and Mitigating Aerosol Fire and Explosion Hazards Associated with Low Vapor Pressure Liquids
This paper addresses the hazards associated with aerosolized hydraulic fluids and other liquids designed to be relatively non-flammable with respect to flashpoint and vapor pressure. The studies presented seek to understand and quantify conditions and circumstances that can produce such hazardous conditions. US Navy personnel are particularly susceptible to fuel aerosol hazards due to the wides...
متن کاملAssessment of Explosion Hazards of Unstable Substances
Means are required to assess hazards by small-scale experiments. Those commonly used are based upon the science of conventional explosives with important modifications. Several types of explosion may occur: a detonation, propagating supersonically; a deflagration, propagating subsonically; so-called homogeneous explosion in which reaction occurs almost simultaneously throughout the mass. The ev...
متن کاملFire and explosion hazards in operating theatres.
A high degree of safety from fires and explosions exists in operating theatres in the U.K. and this is reflected in the extremely low number of fatal and non-fatal accidents which occur. This has been achieved by safety precautions which in some respects have been over-careful and overexpensive. Antistatic precautions applied to the breathing circuit seem to have been the crucial factor in achi...
متن کاملExplosion properties of aerosol/air mixtures
Combustion hazards associated with liquid fuels are often categorized in terms of the fuel’s flashpoint. However, in hazard scenarios where high-flashpoint fuel is released under pressure, jet breakup and aerosol formation will result. In these cases, this simplistic method of combustion hazard classification may be not sufficient and then alternative approaches are required. As for gases and d...
