Abstract:
An investigation into the explosion phenomenon recently reported in an investigation into the hazards of liquified natural gas LNG is reported. Repeated experiments were conducted in which LNG was dropped onto a variety of liquid samples. Although an explosion could not be obtained when pure water was used as the sample, water contaminated by n-hexane or by toluene gave an explosion every time. Peak explosion pressures are given for a variety of different experimental conditions. Further experiments indicated that a minor, high-boiling constituents of LNG may play an important part in the explosion mechanism, and b an important scaling-up factor was observed. Author
