- Identifiers
- venting rate; spreading of a liquid on water; vapor dispersion; thermal radiation from flames; spreading of a low-viscosity liquid on a high-visosity liquid; simultaneous spreading and evaporation of a cryogen on water; simultaneous spreading and cooling of a high vapor pressure chemical; mixing and dilution of a high-vapor-pressure, highly water-soluble chemical; boiling rate model for heavy liquids with boiling temperatures less than ambient; radiation view factor between an inclined flame and an arbitrarily oriented surface in space
- Abstract
- This report contains details of the analytical models (and their derivations) used in the CHRIS manual 3 for assessing the hazards caused by the spill of chemicals on water. The report is presented in two parts. Part 1 contains those models that have been based on the existing information in the literature, while Part 2 contains detailed derivations for each of the models that were developed. In general, Part 2 contains more sophisticated information. This report also includes discussions of the applicability of each of the analytical models to the different branches of the hazard assessment events chart. Each model is given in a separate chapter.
