Abstract
The article reviewed one of the known accidents with explosions of fuel assemblies both in domestic and foreign enterprises, and analyzed the causes of its occurrence. With the help of several computational methods, the sizes of the zones of air-shock wave (ASW) were determined and compared with the “real” data, and situational plans with zones of destruction were constructed.
Highlights
Modern technologies are impossible without the use of explosive substances
When considering the processes of explosive transformations of fuel assemblies, special attention is paid to possible modes of combustion of an explosive cloud and consideration of factors determining the conditions for the onset of detonation or deflagration with a corresponding speed of flame front propagation [9]
According to available data [20], a dimethyl ether tank was located on Anilinfabriksstrassa
Summary
Fuel-air mixtures (FA), fuel and lubricants (fuels and lubricants), flammable liquids (flammable liquids) are used in all areas of society, both in industry and in everyday life [1, 2]. Among man-made disasters, the most dangerous are explosions and fires during storage and transportation of oil and petroleum products, as well as other types of fuel [4,5]. The relevance of studies of explosions of fuel-air mixtures is due to the significant risk of accidents associated with them and the need to predict the extent of possible dangerous consequences when designing hazardous production facilities and developing additional safety measures [1, 6,7, 8]. Variants of accidents can lead to catastrophic consequences and a significant loss of human life, as well as cause irreparable damage to the environment [10, 11]
