Turbulent Jet Example
In previous examples I discussed release scenarios involving vapour clouds spreading over a large area, carried by the wind. In those examples the momentum o...
VCE Example - Butane Vapour Cloud
In a previous post I worked through estimating the airborne quantity of butane due to a leak from a storage sphere. That example stopped at estimating the to...
Worst Case Meterological Conditions
In a previous post I modeled an example of a plume from an elevated stack. In that example I assumed very stable conditions and a low windspeed – pasquill st...
Air Dispersion Example - Stack Emissions
This is an interesting example that came up in conversation with another engineer related to a construction project happening at an existing facility. Imagin...
Compressible Flow Example - Sizing a goose neck vent
When determining the required venting for above ground storage tanks it is typical to calculate normal and emergency vent rates using standards such as API 2...
