TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Dust explosion experiments in a vented 500 m3 silo cell JO - Journal of occupational accidents A1 - Eckhoff, RK A1 - Fuhre, K SP - 229 EP - 240 VL - 6 IS - 4 N2 - 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.
