Abstract
Simple computer codes have been developed at the Safety and Reliability Directorate to model the thermal and pressure response of LPG tanks involved in fire engulfment accidents. The present code, ENGULF II, can model either total or partial fire engulfment of an LPG tank, including jet flame impingement. Other features available within the code are safety relief vent valves, bulk boiling of the liquid contents, external tank wall thermal insulation, water spray cooling, tank failure prediction and the modeling of a gas or petrol filled tank. Code predictions have been in good agreement with available experimental data.
