Investigation of the Explosion Hazards of Hydrogen Sulfide. Phase 1: Report Covering the Period January 1984 to January 1985.

摘要

The results of Phase I of an investigation directed towards quantifying the explosion hazards of hydrogen sulphide in air are described. The first phase is focussed on detonation in free hydrogen sulfide/air clouds. Detonation properties, including velocity and pressure, have been calculated and compared with experimental results. The observed detonation structure together with critical tube tests tests are used to assess the detonability of hydrogen sulfide/air mixtures relative to hydrogen and common hydrocarbon gases. Detailed chemical kinetic modelling of hydrogen sulfide combustion in air has been performed to correlate the detonation cell size data and to determine the influence of water vapor on the detonability of hydrogen sulfide in air. Calculations of the blast wave properties for detonation of a hydrogen sulfide/air cloud provide the data required to assess the blast effects of such explosions. (Atomindex citation 19:068229)
