a b s t r a c tSonic propane jet fire experiments were carried out in absence of wind, with visible flame length ranging between 2.2 and 8.1 m. The thermal radiation intensity increased with the mass flow rate and the flame length. The net heat released was also computed and a correlation for the flame length as a function of Q is proposed. The surface emissive power and the fraction of heat irradiated were estimated by applying the solid flame model, assuming the flame to be a cylinder. The variation of the emissive power as a function of flame length was found to follow a linear equation. The fraction of heat irradiated g was obtained from the value of the total radiative power; its average value for sonic propane gas flames was 0.07.

Due to numerous hazardous chemicals to handle, the process plant industry has a higher risk of fire, explosion, and toxic release than other industries. Reviewing the accidents at process plants in the past, it is clear that fire accidents occur with the highest frequency, leading this study to consider accidental fire scenarios at process plants. For the scenario of an incident, a jet fire involving a massive amount of hydrogen gas to be processed or delivered at the process plant has been selected. The analysis of incident outcome resulting from the hydrogen jet fire has been implemented through the computational fluid dynamics simulation methodology Kameleon FireEx. Based on the outcome of this simulation, the consequences of a jet fire with high temperature and heat radiation are analyzed and evaluated. In addition, the results from Phast ver. 7.11 simulation for the same scenario are presented for comparison and further validation. 407

“…It was worth noting that the remaining 39% occurred at a sea-land interface, which is a remarkable characteristic of ports areas. Gomez-Mares et al [17] made 84 accidental scenarios involving jet fires from several accidents databases, and showed that 50% of reported cases involving a jet fire caused primary event of a domino sequence. The origin of accidents, the type of substance involved, causes of accidents, the type of accidents and the consequences were analyzed.…”

“…In Gomez-Mares et al [17] , 37% accidents analyzed were caused by mechanical failure, in which coupling or flange leakage was the main specific cause. The human factor accounting for 29% of the cases was the second general cause of accidents, followed by impact failure (27%), external events (19%), and all remaining causes (7%).…”

Domino effect is a fairly common phenomenon in process industry accidents, which makes many process industry accidents serious and the consequent losses enhanced. Domino effect of the major accidents in chemical cluster is emphasized. Many researchers have studied domino effect in chemical clusters from different perspectives. In the review, we summarize the research from three aspects: The statistical analysis of domino accidents in chemical process industry, the evaluation of domino accidents and the prevention of domino accidents in chemical clusters by game theory. From the analysis, we can find the characteristic of domino accidents such as the time and the location, the origin and causes of domino accidents. The methods of assessing domino effects such as quantitative risk assessment (QRA), Bayesian networks (BN) and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) are analyzed. The prevention of domino accidents in chemical clusters using game theory is seldom, and there is still much space for improvement in enterprises' efforts to prevent risk of domino accidents.
