Experimental plan for 40-m/sup 3/ liquefied natural gas (LNG) dispersion tests

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5646643
An experimental team from the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory (LLL) will soon begin a series of liquefied natural gas (LNG) experiments at the Naval Weapons Center (NWC), China Lake, California. These experiments will involve spilling 40m/sup 3/ of LNG onto a pond and measuring the characteristics of the gas plume as it disperses downwind. A large array of instruments has been developed to make measurements of gas concentration, temperature, humidity, wind velocity, and heat balance and to telemeter the data back to a data recording trailer. Experiments will be performed for various wind speeds and various spill rates over a five-month period.
