The calculation of the discharge capacity of the safety valve on kerosene tanks
Thread Content
Dear seniors, I have a question I’d like to ask; thank you very much. The container I built contains kerosene. When calculating the discharge volume of the safety valve, I intended to use the formula for non-explosive liquefied gases under fire conditions, namely Ws=2.55x10^5xFAr^0.82/q; therefore, I need to find out the latent heat of vaporization of kerosene at the discharge pressure. My user questioned this algorithm, arguing that kerosene is not a liquefied gas and therefore this formula does not apply to it. Do the seniors think my calculation method is correct? I’m truly very grateful; it was really a problem that troubled me a lot.
Although I’ve never used it, I don’t think it can be used either
Kerosene is not a liquefied gas, and its safe discharge volume can only be calculated as that of a liquid medium
