Abstract
The objective of this research work was to determine the risk areas for thermal radiation, generated by BLEVE and fireball in a 13,000 L tank with LP gas, located in the municipality of Nicolás Romero, State of Mexico, from of mathematical models and the ALOHA® software, in order to compare and analyze the results obtained. In order to carry out the solution of this work, first the event and hypothetical scenario in which the type of applicable source was defined, which is BLEVE followed by fireball, is judged, and later different data were determined for the present study. Based on the above, the corresponding modeling was carried out to determine the risk zones of affectation by thermal radiation, the dimension of the diameter and the duration of the fireball. As a result, a comparative analysis was obtained in which it was possible to observe and conclude that the results obtained through mathematical models, in general, present more conservative results, compared to the modeling used by ALOHA®
