The effect of coolant additives on the vapour explosion behaviour in melt droplet impingement experiments Universiteit Gent
Vapour explosions are a known hazard with potentially devastating consequences in several industries. They might occur when a hot liquid comes into direct contact with a cold and volatile liquid. Eutectic PbS-Cu2S droplet impingement experiments were performed to investigate the effect of the coolant composition on the vapour explosion behaviour. The composition was varied between water with systematic additions of NaCl, MEG, or a combination of ...
