Abstract

The general problem of dust explosion venting is discussed. Results of wheat grain dust, soya meal and maize starch explosions in a vented 500 m3 silo cell are presented in terms of vent area/Pmax correlations. The dramatic increase in Pmax caused by strong turbulence is demonstrated. Comparison of present results and existing venting codes is made.
