Methods for determination of duration and maximum fireball diameter
A case study on b. liq. expanding vapor explosion and fireball after a railway accident with liq. PrH-BuH mixt. was given. A release of 10-12 t of the mixt. took place, the tank car contained 8-10 t of the mixt. during the explosion. The fireball duration was 15 s. The fire was extinguished after about 3 h.
