Guidelines for vapor cloud explosion, pressure vessel burst, BLEVE, and flash fire hazards [Elektronisk resurs]

• Front Matter -- Introduction -- Management Overview -- Case Histories -- Basic Concepts -- Flash Fires -- Vapor Cloud Explosions -- Pressure Vessel Bursts -- Basic Principles of BLEVEs -- References -- Appendix A. View Factors for Selected Configurations -- Appendix B. Tabulation of Some Gas Properties in Metric Units -- Appendix C. Conversion Factors to SI for Selected Quantities -- Index.

• This guide provides an overview of methods for estimating the characteristics of vapor cloud explosions, flash fires, and boiling-liquid-expanding-vapor explosions (BLEVEs) for practicing engineers. It has been updated to include advanced modeling technology, especially with respect to vapor cloud modeling and the use of computational fluid dynamics. The text also reviews past experimental and theoretical research and methods to estimate consequences. Heavily illustrated with photos, charts, tables, and diagrams, this manual is an essential tool for safety, insurance, regulatory, and engineeri.
