Aerosols generated by accidents: pressurized liquid release experiments.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Safety assessments and environmental impact statements for facilities require an estimation of airborne releases from accidents. Aerosols generated by accidents are being investigated to develop the source terms for these releases. One example of a severe accidental release event is a pressurized liquid release. Pressurized liquid release experiments performed in static air measured the mass airborne as a function of source size and containment pressure. Pressurized releases with the containment breach above the liquid level were investigated. For this configuration, only containment pressure at the time of release was found to be a significant parameter. Releases in static air can be estimated using the relationships developed in this work. Weight percent of the airborne source ranged from 4 X 10(-4) to 0.15%. All of the pressurized releases produced a significant fraction of respirable particles.

Evaluation of Artificial Intelligent Methods to Release Sediments from Reservoirs by Pressurized Flushing
Sedimentation in reservoirs is an important issue that should be considered for the reservoirs operation and useful life. In this study, application of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in prediction of the sediment release from the bottom outlet using semi-cylinder for different variables was evaluated. Dimensionless parameters such as dimens...

In this research, the effect of friction between the liquid metal and the sand mould wall and the effect of passage of liquid through a vertical bend and through a ceramic filter on the fluid flow and the melt velocity has been studied by measuring the velocity of the melt and direct observation of the liquid flow through the different parts of a naturally-pressurized running system. The fricti...

Sputum samples were collected from a group of private patients who had no respiratory symptoms but who frequently used aerosols generated by pressurized cans, and from two groups of controls. Atypical metaplastic changes in exfoliated cells were compared between the groups. An excess of moderate and marked atypical metaplastic cells was found among the frequent aerosol users. This association, ...
