RISThe Effect of Reduced Design Margin on the Fire Survivability of ASME Code Propane Tanks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the 1999 addenda to the 1998 ASME pressure vessel code, Section VIII, Div. 1 there was a change in design margin for unfired pressure vessels from 4.0 to 3.5. This has resulted in the ...
Theoretical Investigation of Internal Wall Cooling of a Pressure Vessel Engulfed in Fire
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a pressure vessel is exposed to an engulfing fire, the vessel can fail due to a combination of high internal pressure and material degradation due to high wall temperatures. In fire-engulfed ...
Thermal Protection of Pressure Vessels by Internal Wall Cooling During Pressure Relief
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When pressure vessels are exposed to external fire impingement, high wall temperatures can result and these can lead to material degradation and the ultimate failure of the vessel. To protect ...
A Re-Examination of Propane Tank Tub Rockets Including Field Trial Results
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a tank containing a pressure-liquefied gas fails, one mode of failure involves the tank being propelled large distances by the released two-phase material. This mode of failure is called ...
Experimental Study of Oblong Exhaust Ejectors With Multiring Oblong Entraining Diffusers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents experimental data for the performance of two oblong, straight, air-air ejectors with four-ring oblong entraining diffusers. The effects of inlet swirl angle, nozzle diameter, ...
Fluid Pressures in Partially Liquid-Filled Horizontal Cylindrical Vessels Undergoing Impact Acceleration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental investigation has been carried out to study the fluid pressures in partially liquid-filled vessels when they are suddenly accelerated by impact along the longitudinal axis. The ...
Improving the Performance of a Bent Ejector With Inlet Swirl
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Ejectors are commonly employed in gas turbine exhaust systems for reasons such as space ventilation and IR suppression. Ejectors may incorporate bends in the geometry for various reasons. Studies ...
The Effect of Pressure Relief Valve Blowdown and Fire Conditions on the Thermo-Hydraulics Within a Pressure Vessel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the summers of 2000 and 2001, a series of controlled fire tests were conducted on horizontal 1890liter (500 US gallon) propane pressure vessels. The test vessels were instrumented with ...
Analysis of Fire-Induced Ruptures of 400-L Propane Tanks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A series of fire tests were conducted to study the thermal rupture of propane tanks. The tests involved 400-L ASME automotive propane tanks filled to 80 percent capacity with commercial propane. ...
Dynamic Behavior of Transportation Pressure Relief Valves Under Simulated Fire Impingement Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of the first full test series of commercial pressure relief valves using the newly constructed Queen’s University/Transport Canada dynamic valve test facility (VTF) ...
