Abstract

The total radiative heat transfer from a pressure relief value to a rail tank car surface was calculated. The flame was regarded as a radiating surface. The variation of the incident heat flux on the cylindrical surface due to the inclination of the flare in cross-wind conditions was investigated. The results of full and 1/5-scale fire tests conducted on real tanks filled with LPG were utilized to compare the analytical results obtained here (Part II) and from Part I. Reasonable agreement was obtained between the analyses and experiments.
