Damage caused to fibres by vapour cloud explosions.
Research on the very specific damage to single textile fibres caused by vapour cloud explosions is presented. Vapour cloud explosion experiments were carried out using a selection of 41 garments differing in colour, fibre composition and textile construction. Fibres subjected to a vapour cloud explosion become wider at the end, often taking the form of a ball, bulb or shovel, while the morpholo...
متن کاملGRAVITATIONAL RADIATION FROM SUPERNOVA EXPLOSIONS * Ronald
As a simple model of a supernova explosion we study a point mass exploding into two equal point masses moving back to back at high velocity, or a superposition of such elementary explosions. We employ two calculational methods. In one method we assume an infinite acceleration for zero time and calculate the gravitational field and the distribution of emitted energy. A cutoff frequency in the po...
متن کاملCharacteristic overpressure-impulse-distance curves for vapour cloud explosions using the TNO Multi-Energy model.
A number of models have been proposed to calculate overpressure and impulse from accidental industrial explosions. When the blast is produced by ignition of a vapour cloud, the TNO Multi-Energy model is widely used. From the curves given by this model, data are fitted to obtain equations showing the relationship between overpressure, impulse and distance. These equations, referred herein as cha...
متن کاملLarge vapour cloud explosions, with particular reference to that at Buncefield.
This paper first briefly surveys the energy releases in some major accidents. It then examines the analyses of the explosion at the Buncefield fuel storage site in the UK, one of the most intense accidental explosions in recent times. This followed the release of approximately 300 tonnes of winter-grade gasoline, when a 15 m high storage tank was overfilled for about 40 min before ignition of t...
متن کاملHeat gain from thermal radiation through protective clothing with different insulation, reflectivity and vapour permeability.
The heat transferred through protective clothing under long wave radiation compared to a reference condition without radiant stress was determined in thermal manikin experiments. The influence of clothing insulation and reflectivity, and the interaction with wind and wet underclothing were considered. Garments with different outer materials and colours and additionally an aluminised reflective ...
