Thermodynamic and Gasdynamic Aspects of a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion

The risk of explosion due to rupture of a tank filled with pressurized liquefied gas (PLG) is one of the risks to be considered in the context of studies on tunnel safety. When a vessel containing liquid well above its boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure fails catastrophically a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE) can...
