Several methodologies, based on different thermodynamic assumptions and requiring substance properties and thermodynamic data, have been proposed in the literature for the prediction of the mechanical energy released by a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE) and the associated overpressure. A new method, simple and easy to use, is presented which only requires the vessel filling de...

Molecular-beam epitaxy grown InAs site-controlled quantum dots SCQDs have been demonstrated on GaAs substrates patterned with a dense array of 100 nm square nanopores in 200 nm pitch by soft photocurable nanoimprint lithography. The effects of different growth parameters, including GaAs buffer-layer thickness and arsenic overpressure, on SCQD formation are investigated. The buffer-layer thickne...

This paper explores the effects of an abrupt cross-section area change gas pipes on propagation law explosion. For this, explosion pipe experimental system was established, and a numerical research conducted. By simulation, evolution overpressure, temperature, vorticity, kinetic energy shock waves in pipelines investigated. allowed us to obtain expressions for attenuation coefficient, increase ...

Overpressure is widely developed in marine sediments; it not only a critical factor related to hydrocarbon accumulation, but also serious safety issue for oil/gas exploration and exploitation. Although the mechanisms overpressure development sedimentary basins have been intensively studied, some new are proposed with advancements geological investigation, e.g., natural gas hydrate formation mic...

We evaluated the acute (up to 24 h) pathophysiological response to primary blast using a rat model and helium driven shock tube. The shock tube generates animal loadings with controlled pure primary blast parameters over a wide range and field-relevant conditions. We studied the biomechanical loading with a set of pressure gauges mounted on the surface of the nose, in the cranial space, and in ...
