| dc.description.abstract | A preliminary risk analysis on the impact of LPG storage explosion to the community in the Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra
Malaysia (UPM) is studied. This paper is aimed to evaluate the physical effects of the release of hazardous substances or energy
following various possible accidental events. This paper focuses on the final events that are: confined explosion fireball/ boiling liquid
expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE), jet-fire and pool-fire. Several physical models including Trinitrotoluene (TNT) model are used to
evaluate each possible accident and the calculated results of the affected area and distance are also shown. | en_US |
