Understanding the causes and mechanisms of large explosions, especially dust explosions, is essential for minimising devastating hazards in many industrial processes. It is known that unconfined dust explosions begin as primary (turbulent) deflagrations followed by a devastating secondary explosion...

We develop a model for delayed rapid phase transition (RPT) in LNG spills based on thermodynamics and nucleation theory which includes predictions of both triggering and vapor explosion consequence. We discover that the model predictions can be accurately characterized by two independent parameters...

Long HVDC cables are difficult to emulate in laboratory settings due their complex behaviour and fast transient response. This paper presents the methodology for the design and the laboratory implementation of a HVDC cable emulator with a Power Hardware in the Loop approach. The cable representation...
