LNG fireball thermal radiation. [1, 10, 100, 1000 m/sup 3/ spills]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6222736
A severe thermal radiation hazard exists when the LNG vapors ignite after all the LNG has vaporized, resulting in a fireball. The hazard is maximum when the vapors are mixed stoichiometrically with air before igniting. In this report, the external radiation from various size LNG spills (1, 10, 100, 1000 m/sup 3/) is calculated and plotted versus radial distance from the center of the fireball. Total integrated heat flux and maximum fireball radius is also calculated. Radiation resulting from a pool fire is calculated. 9 figures.
