Aluminium domes and internal floating roofs have been chosen to minimise vapourisation of volatile hydrocarbons stored in the terminal, he explains. |
Once the energy is absorbed by the water, it is converted into heat, causing superheating, and vapourisation. |
Vapourisation inside a desalination flashing chamber arises from the energetic evaporation with self-boiling of liquid brine flow due to a reduction of pressure, and is a complex, multiphase, thermo-fluid phenomenon. |
Thanks to the high molecular mass, it has a low vapourisation level and impedes on the emission of volatile organic compounds in fire conditions. |
In slapper detonators, the explosive vapourisation of the electrical conductor drives a flyer or slapper across a gap and the impact of the slapper on an explosive starts a chemical detonation. |
