The Pittsburgh Research Laboratory of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health conducted a study of the explosibility of various metals and other elemental dusts dispersed in air, with a focus on the experimental explosion temperatures. The data are useful for understanding the basics of dust cloud combustion, as well as for evaluating the explosion hazards in the minerals and ...

s:1080:"Background: Studies have shown that gasoline vapor influences many physiological aspects of body. The present study was exerted to evaluate the effects of gasoline vapor inhalation on serum levels of testosterone in male rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, gasoline vapor receiving for 1hour, 2 hours and 3 hours/day. After 10 weeks, blood sam...

In a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE), the superheating and boiling of the liquefied gas inside the vessel as it fails is important information necessary to understand the mechanism of this type of disaster. In this paper, a small-scale experiment was developed to investigate the possible processes that could lead to a BLEVE. Water was used as the test fluid. High-speed video wa...
