CRYOGENIC MIXING WITH PHASE CHANGE IN THE SIMULATION OF L02/LH2 EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Аннотация
Experiments involving the mixing of two
cryogenic fluids have been performed as part
of a non-reactive simulation of accidental
spills of liquid oxygen (L02) into liquid
hydrogen (LH2) . Jets of either L02 or liquid
nitrogen (LN2) were injected into a deep pool
of liquid helium. Results of the
experiments showed that only small differences exist between L02 and LN2 as a jet fluid. Also, only about 65% of the jet fluid's sensible energy went into the actual vaporization of the liquid helium.
