Book excerpt: The explosion of detonable gas mixtures was established as a feasible means for simulating blast and shock environments. The problems in deploying large balloons for containing the gas mixture appear to be the only limitation on the size of the explosion that can be generated. The blast focusing technique appears to have practical application where peak overpressures above 30 psi are required. Considerable savings in explosives can be realized above the 100 psi range. This report is divided into two parts: Part I Detonable Gas Explosion; Part II (bound separately) Blast Focusing Technique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My introduction to the fascinating phenomena associated with detonation waves came through appointments as an external fellow at the Department of Physics, University College of Wales, and at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds. Very special thanks for his accurate guidance through the large body of information on gaseous detonations are due to Professor D. H. Edwards of University College of Wales. Indeed, the onerous task of concisely enumerating the key features of unidimensional theories of detonations was undertaken by him, and Chapter 2 is based on his initial draft. When the text strays to the use of we, it is a deserved acknow ledgement of his contribution. Again, I should like to thank Professor D. Bradley of Leeds University for his enthusiastic encouragement of my efforts at developing a model of the composition limits of detonability through a relationship between run-up distance and composition of the mixture. The text has been prepared in the context of these fellowships, and I am grateful to the Central Electricity Generating Board for its permission to accept these appointments.

Download or read book Gas Dust and Hybrid Explosions written by W.E. Baker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Damaging accidental explosions are a continuous threat to industry. Categories for such explosions include combustible dust explosions; reactive gas explosions, both confined and unconfined; hybrid explosions involving both gases and dusts; bursts of pressure vessels and piping; and liquid propellant explosions. This book evaluates the physical processes and resulting blast effects for these types of explosions. Special attention is given to reactive gas explosions, both confined and unconfined. This latter class of explosion has occurred all too frequently in refineries and petrochemical complexes, and is also one of the most difficult to predict and evaluate. Much recent work on this topic is reviewed and summarized. This is the only publication of its kind, to date, that offers such a thorough coverage of these types of industrial explosions. [p] Each class of explosion source is reviewed separately, first discussing fundamentals, then presenting methods of analysis and testing, and finally giving curves or equations to predict effects of the particular class of explosion. An extensive bibliography is included together with tables of pertinent properties of explosive materials. The text also includes many figures, equations, tables and a keyword index. The book is intended for researchers in the field of characterizing and mitigating industrial explosions. It will also be of interest to engineers, scientists, and insurers involved in processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas Explosion Handbook provides an overview of the latest research on gas explosion hazards within the oil and gas industry, and is the only book which focuses specifically on gas explosions. The book is informed by the author's long experience in safety consulting, supporting his findings with examples and case studies. This useful resource reviews all relevant scientific and technical work performed in the field, and presents important lessons on release phenomena, dispersion processes, ignition sources and their properties, explosion processes and phenomena, blast waves, modeling of release, dispersion and explosion, hazardous area classification, and probabilities of release and ignition. The current regulatory frameworks, both onshore and offshore, from several countries are also reviewed, together with national and international standards supporting these regulations. The book is suitable for those new to the area as well as experienced professionals. Provides an overview of the latest research on gas explosion hazards within the oil and gas industry Designed to prevent accidents, injury, loss of life, and capital damage Includes onshore and offshore International regulatory standards Features the different type of models for gas explosions, and provides guidance as to which model is appropriate to a situation Covers tactics for conducting gas explosion safety studies, considering ventilation, gas dispersion and gas explosions for traditional platform constructions, FPSO's, and FLNG's

This book was released on 1976 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tatum Dome Test Site, located approximately 34 kilometers southwest of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, was the site for the second Humid Water Test in a series of detonable gas explosions of Operation Miracle Play that took place in the cavity created by the Salmon Test, a 5 KT nuclear detonation. In addition, another nuclear detonation, the Sterling Test (0.38 KT), and the Diode Tube Test (Operation Miracle Play), a gas explosion with an assumed yield of 100 tons, were detonated in the same cavity. The Humid Water Test was inadvertently detonated on April 19, 1970. The scheduled readiness date was April 21, 1970. The burial depth was approximately 2,700 feet in the center of the 55-foot radius cavity. The design yield was equivalent to 315 tons of TNT. The explosive mixture consisted of natural gas (99 percent methane) and oxygen, with a mixture of 1.6 to 1 oxygen and methane, respectively. (Some nitrogen was also pumped into the cavity during the purging of the filling lines.) The purpose of the event was to investigate the simulation of blast effect of underground nuclear explosions involving detonable gas mixtures, and to measure the reduction in seismic motion due to decoupling of explosions in an overdriven cavity. Radiation monitoring activities are described. (CH).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A program was conducted to simulate the seismic phenomena associated with underground nuclear explosions with detonable gases. The program was conducted in two phases. The first phase, an engineering design study (DASA 2316), presented the system design required to meet the physical aspects of cavity created by the SALMON Event in the Tatum Salt Dome, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, an Atomic Energy Commission installation. The second phase consisted of a series of three detonable gas events to be conducted in the SALMON cavity. This series of detonable gas events were called MIRACLE PLAY TEST SERIES. The three events were named respectively: DIODE TUBE, HUMID WATER, DINAR COIN. This report describes departures in the engineering design, procedure, and results of DIODE TUBE and HUMID WATER. The third event, DINAR COIN, has been cancelled. (Author).
