Simulation of LPG Pressure Vessel under Fire Engulfment

Liquefied Petroleum Gases [LPG] are flammable mixtures of gases such as propane and butane mainly which is transported stored in liquid phase storage vessels under amply pressure. These industrial processes high fire explosion hazard. When a vessel carrying LPG damaged, an abrupt drop pressure may release colossal quantities evaporating gas energy that has destructive effect on the itself its surroundings. comes contact with ignition source, BLEVE phenomenon developed. Elevated temperature environment outside can cause due to mount inside tank strength walls. This catastrophic rupture will lead when ignited again vapor cloud explosion. Most common scenario partially filled form exposed fire. The primary focus paper analyze thermal loading condition. For this Finite element modeling approach used analysis carried out ANSYS TM software.
