Study on effect of noncondensable gas in vapor film upon vapor explosion

  • 1. Tokyo Univ. (Japan)

Description

The effect of the noncondensable gas contained in a vapor film upon vapor explosion is investigated. Vapor explosion on a small scale is initiated by dropping a drop of molten tin into water. Quite different phenomena are observed when a space above the pool of water is filled with steam instead of an air-steam mixture, indicating that the noncondensable gas mixed in the vapor film affects vapor explosion greatly and make the process stochastic.
