The pipe structures and opening conditions have an important influence on gas explosion, but little research has been done the coupling analysis of two. In order to reveal effect structure flammability characteristics hydrogen-air premixed under end-opening conditions, flame structure, propagation velocity, explosion pressure flow field distribution in process different were analyzed by numeric...

BACKGROUND While numerous studies have explored relevant factors of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, there have been few joint investigations of trauma severity and trait neuroticism on the development of PTSD symptoms. This study aims to assess the involvement and interrelationship of trauma severity and neuroticism in the expression of PTSD symptoms among adolescents exposed to ...

Natural gas, composed mainly of methane, is in some ways similar to propane gas. Both fuels have similar energy densities per unit mass, and similar laminar premixed flame burning velocities. However, propane explosions have been shown to produce higher overpressures in unconfined explosion tests when compared to methane. In vapor cloud explosion modeling, methane is considered to be a “low” re...

Abstract In order to study the flame propagation characteristics and influencing factors of gas-coal dust mixed explosion in containers, this paper quantitatively explores effect mechanism two-phase concentration ratio closed section restraint mode on coupling by numerical simulation, comprehensively considering coal pyrolysis model mass heat transfer model. The current research results show th...

The prevention of dangerous chemical accidents is a primary problem of industrial manufacturing. In the accidents of dangerous chemicals, the oil gas explosion plays an important role. The essential task of the explosion prevention is to estimate the better explosion limit of a given oil gas. In this paper, Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Logistic Regression (LR) are used to predict the explo...

In order to solve the selection of the optimal wavelet basis for the gas pipeline leak monitoring, the feature of wavelet basis especially for gas pipeline leak monitoring and positioning has been summarized based on the analyze of wavelet basis parameters characteristic and gas pipeline leak negative pressure wave signal feature. A parameter which named reconstruction and mutation joint factor...

In this study, operation of compressor station has been investigated by exergy approach. Exergy analysis is a thermodynamic method which shows the irreversibility of a system quantitatively. Gas compressors are used to compensate the pressure drop along the gas pipeline significantly. The compression process causes temperature rise of gas; in this regard gas cooler is applied to reduce the temp...

Peter Bauer, ABB Automation, USA, and Billy Mann, West African Gas Pipeline Company Ltd, discuss the importance of SCADA system integrity to the West African gas pipeline. Gas operators are finding the need for more and more advanced technology to keep up with their data collection and processing requirements. This includes data from smart field devices, increasingly sophisticated control syste...

With the growth of electricity generation from gas energy gas pipeline reliability can substantially impact the electric generation. A physical disruption to pipeline or to a compressor station can interrupt the flow of gas or reduce the pressure and lead to loss of multiple gas-fired electric generators, which could dramatically reduce the supplied power and threaten the power system security....
