Effect of humidity on the energy budget of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) vapor cloud

OSTI ID:5432876
The effect of the humidity of the air on the dispersion of the vapor rising from a liquefied natural gas (LNG) spill is studied. A theory was developed relating the temperature of a mixture of air and methane to the percent of methane in the mixture. The theoretical results are compared with experimental measurements. In general it was found that the experimental temperature was higher than expected, suggesting that additional heat was added to the plume. Several mechanisms for this addition are evaluated.
