Jet Fire Due to Gas Leakage: Dynamical Theory and Risk Assessment

This book presents a theoretical framework for the quantitative calculation of casualties and damage from jet fires caused by high—pressure gas leaks in pressure vessels or pipelines. The framework incorporates gas leakage models, combustion dynamics models, thermal radiation models, and thermal damage criteria. It conducts sensitivity and uncertainty analyses for the input parameters of the theoretical framework. The robustness of the theoretical framework is verified through field tests. ...
