In this study, the amount of generated pool fire, as a result of the release of chemicals in the case of an accident in tunnels, was simulated and the results were compared to the experimental data. At first, various amounts of spatial resolution (R*) were considered to compare the existing experimental data at different heights at the upstream, downstream and above the pool fire...

In the past, HSE’s Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) has studied the performance of a variety of passive fire protection (PFP) materials in protecting a part-filled LPG tank subjected to hydrocarbon pool fire engulfment. However, this is only one potential fire incident scenario that can threaten a process vessel; another is a jet fire, perhaps resulting from an ignited release from a leaking ...

Results of recent researches of large pool fires are reviewed. Researches on combustion characteristics of large petroleum fires have been conducted by many research groups. To do large fire experiments costs very much and huge open space is taken, but it is important to conduct large scale experiments for obtaining information of large real tank fires. Therefore, in order to promote large pool...

This paper describes recent experiments to investigate the effects that the location of a fire within an enclosure has upon the rate of heat release. A series of pool fire experiments in a 1⁄2 domestic scale compartment using three ventilation geometries (fully open, soffit, and door), and heptane pool fires located in three evenly distributed locations within the compartment (rear, centre and ...

This paper presents experimental findings on heat and mass transfer, phase transitions, chemical reactions during the interaction of CO2 hydrate in powder granules tablets with burning liquid fuels oil. The experiments involved spheres made pressed granules. fire containment suppression times were established experimentally. Using gas analysis data, we studied effects mitigation anthropogenic e...
