Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the characteristics and the safe distance of LPG pool fires, a modeling of the pressure leaked from storage tanks, and the fire characteristic parameter calculation model, and thermal radiation intensity prediction model for LPG pool fire, and for liquid flow leak pool fire case, using MATLAB software programming, obtained characteristics parameters of LPG pool fire and damage assessment, analyzed the effects of a cross wind on the flame size and shape and the thermal radiation, put forward a calculation method of the LPG pool fire safe distance, provide guidance for the fire tactics equation of safety equipment and storage tank area configuration.
