Building The Formula For Calculating The Vapor of The LPG Liquid Generating in The Explosion Risk of LPG Tank
Building The Formula For Calculating The Vapor of The LPG Liquid Generating in The Explosion Risk of LPG Tank
capacity of the LPG liquid (energy/mass.deg.), To be the temperature of the LPG liquid
before depressurization, and Tb is the depressurized boiling point of the LPG liquid, the
excess energy contained in the superheated LPG liquid is given by

The result of this calculation can use to determine the dispersion of the LPG vapor
in the air when assess the risk of the gas explosion from the tank, pipe, equipment of the
LPG.
Research applying the result of the study to another liquid.
