  2. Gas explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_explosion

    As the building's heat source was natural gas, there was a heater with a pilot light in the basement. As the gas built up, the heater's pilot light became the ignition source of the explosion. A year later the company was fined US$300,000 by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities after their investigation found multiple safety violations. No ...

    Once the heater is burning hot enough, the smoke will disappear and the pot may be dragged slowly and carefully inside. They still produce dangerous gas and must only be used in well-ventilated spaces. Choofers will burn almost any combustible liquid fuel, including kerosene, diesel fuel, or used sump oil.

  4. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    2 O,out is the number of moles of water vaporized and n fuel,in is the number of moles of fuel combusted. [9] Most applications that burn fuel produce water vapor, which is unused and thus wastes its heat content. In such applications, the lower heating value must be used to give a 'benchmark' for the process.

  5. Flame test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_test

    Some elements emit weakly and others (Na) very strongly. Gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and a number of other elements do not produce a characteristic flame color, although some may produce sparks (as do metallic titanium and iron); salts of beryllium and gold reportedly deposit pure metal on cooling. [12] The test is highly subjective.

    Eleven other workers were injured, and the fire burned for two hours. The shut-down of this gas pipeline from the explosion affected customers as far away as Ohio in sub-zero weather conditions. [52] [53] January 17 – Two explosions from a natural gas main killed three people in Peoria, Illinois. Seven others were injured, and a home and a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_tank

    A fuel tank (also called a petrol tank or gas tank) is a safe container for flammable fluids, often gasoline or diesel fuel. Though any storage tank for fuel may be so called, the term is typically applied to part of an engine system in which the fuel is stored and propelled ( fuel pump ) or released (pressurized gas) into an engine .

    Normally the gauges monitor the level of the fuel in the tank as it fills from the particular pipeline. From about 03:00 the level gauge for Tank 912 began to indicate an unchanging level reading, despite it being filled at 550 cubic metres (19,423 cu ft) per hour. [17] Calculations show that the tank would have begun to overflow at about 05:20.

    Liquefied gas Horton tanks similar to the six spherical tanks involved in the San Juanico disaster LPG bullet tanks. There were 48 tanks of this type in the Pemex plant. Note how this modern installation incorporates some of the lessons learned from San Juanico: an uncongested, well ventilated area, with the horizontal tanks in a parallel cluster configuration, which minimizes the effects of ...
