  2. Liquefied natural gas - Wikipedia

    The heating value depends on the source of gas that is used and the process that is used to liquefy the gas. The range of heating value can span ±10 to 15 percent. A typical value of the higher heating value of LNG is approximately 50 MJ/kg or 21,500 BTU/lb. [2] A typical value of the lower heating value of LNG is 45 MJ/kg or 19,350 BTU/lb.

  3. Rapid phase transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_phase_transition

    If saturated LNG contacts liquid water (e.g. sea water, which has an average temperature of 15 °C), heat is transferred from the water to the LNG, rapidly vaporizing it. This results in an explosion because the volume occupied by natural gas in its gaseous form is 600 times greater than when its liquefied; this is the phenomenon of rapid phase ...

    A non-combustible material [17] is a substance that does not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subject to fire or heat, in the form in which it is used and under conditions anticipated. Any solid substance complying with either of two sets of passing criteria listed in Section 8 of ASTM E 136 when the substance ...

    Attaining the best combustible or explosive mixture of a fuel and air (the stoichiometric proportion) is important in internal combustion engines such as gasoline or diesel engines. The standard reference work is still that elaborated by Michael George Zabetakis , a fire safety engineering specialist, using an apparatus developed by the United ...

    Of course, the hazard from LNG releases from the insulated container is the matter at hand. The LNG vapor (methane) mixes with air to produce an explosive composition. Thus, the explosive hazard from LNG spills is related to the mixing of the methane vapor with air, creating an explosive mixture.
