Explosion Severity: Propane versus Natural Gas
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...
متن کاملRoot Cause Analysis of NIOC\'s 20" Natural Gas Explosion
Transmission and distribution pipelines have a significant role in the oil and gas industries. Pipelines are facing different threat like corrosion, improper design and incorrect operation. Gas vapor released from a pipeline (owned by NIOC) failure spread out and reached to ignition source. Due to gas outdoor spreading, “flash fire” occurred and flame return caused “vapor cloud explosion” of ga...
متن کاملCarnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh , PA 15213 Keith D . Gremban Marco ZaghaGary L .
Solution of partial differential equations by either the finite element or the finite difference methods often requires the solution of large, sparse linear systems. When the coefficient matrices associated with these linear systems are symmetric and positive definite, the systems are often solved iteratively using the preconditioned conjugate gradient method. We have developed a new class of p...
متن کاملIntestinal transplantation at the University of Pittsburgh.
Our experience with clinical intestinal transplantation under FK 506 immunosuppression showed that 50% of the recipients were able to be independent from TPN after transplantation, but 10% require partial TPN with functioning grafts, 10% needed total TPN after graft removal, and 30% of the recipients died postoperatively, mostly from sepsis due to severe graft rejection. For further improvement...
متن کاملParametric Generation of Explosion Scenarios for Quantitative Risk Assessment of Gas Explosion in Offshore Plants
In this study, probabilistic risk assessment has been carried out for the prediction of gas explosion loads due to hydrocarbon leaks and subsequent explosions in the topside of offshore platforms. In the initial phase of the risk assessment, the effect of various scenario parameters on the annual probability of gas explosion was quantified via a MATLAB code. For calculating the gas explosion fr...
