[0033] In order to more clearly explain and illustrate the technical solution and implementation of the present invention, several preferred specific embodiments for implementing the technical solution of the present invention are introduced below. Specific embodiment 1

[0035] Fire spread analysis unit: When the combustible material of the pressurized hazardous chemicals leaks, a jet is formed. If it is ignited at the leaking crack, a jet fire is formed. Assume that the flame is conical and is represented by a point source model from the leak to 4 / 5 of the flame length. The jet fire accident consequence model algorithm specifically includes the following steps:

[0036] S11 flame length calculation:

[0037] The flame length equation for a jet fire is: Where L1 is the flame length (m), H c is the heat of combustion (J / kg), and m is the mass flow rate (kg / s).

[0038] S12 thermal radiation flux calculation:

[0039] The equation for the thermal radiation flux received at a distance of X(m) from the flame point source is: Where q is the thermal radiation flux received at a distance X from the flame power source (kw / m 2 ), f is the thermal emissivity, τ is the atmospheric transmission rate, and τ = 1-0.0565lnX. Specific embodiment 2

[0041] Gas leakage analysis unit: Pressure gas leakage usually occurs in the form of jets. The leakage speed is related to the state of its flow. Its characteristics can be described by critical flow (maximum outlet velocity equal to the speed of sound) or subcritical flow. The algorithm of the toxic gas leakage accident consequence model specifically includes the following steps:

[0042] S21 flow state calculation:

[0043] When When it is established, the gas flow is sonic flow; when the formula When it is established, the gas flow is subsonic. In the formula, P0 is the ambient atmospheric pressure (Pa), P is the container pressure (Pa), and k is the adiabatic index of the gas, that is, the constant pressure specific heat C p and constant volume specific heat C v Ratio.

[0044] S22 Critical flow or subcritical flow judgment criteria describe the leakage diffusion rate:

[0045] For many gases, the critical ratio (P / P0) is approximately 2, that is, the storage pressure is approximately equal to twice the atmospheric pressure, and the outlet velocity of the fluid leakage is approximately equal to the speed of sound.

[0046] The gas leakage rate of critical flow can be calculated as According to this formula, when the gas flows at subsonic speed, the leakage is: Where Q is the gas leakage rate (kg / s), C dis the sparse gas leakage, A is the crack area (m 2 ), M is the relative molecular mass of the gas, and R is the universal gas constant (8.31436 J mol -1 K -1 ), T is the storage temperature of the gas (K), Y is the gas expansion factor, the formula is:

[0047] The above considerations are for the irreversible adiabatic diffusion of an ideal gas. In addition, the change in gas leakage rate over time is not considered, so using the initial storage conditions will inevitably lead to conservative results. Specific embodiment 3

[0049] Pool Fire Analysis Unit: The pool fire accident consequence model algorithm mainly calculates the geometric dimensions and radiation parameters of the pool fire flame, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0050] S31 calculation pool diameter:

[0051] According to the amount of leaked liquid and the properties of the ground, S = W / (H min ×ρ) can calculate the maximum possible pool area. Where S is the liquid pool area (m 2 ), W is the mass of the leaked liquid (kg), ρ is the density of the liquid (kg / m 3 ), H min is the minimum oil layer thickness (m). The corresponding relationship between the minimum material layer thickness and ground properties is shown in Table 1.

[0059] Calculation of the heat flux received by the S34 target:

[0060] The calculation formula of the heat flux q(r) received by the target is: q(r) = q0(1-0.058lnr)V, where q(r) is the heat flux received by the target (kw / m 2 ), q0 is the calculated heat flux on the flame surface (kw / m 2 ), r is the horizontal distance from the target to the center of the oil field (m), and V is the viewing angle coefficient.

[0061] Calculation of S35 viewing angle factor:

[0062] The viewing angle factor V is related to the ratio s of the distance from the target to the vertical axis of the flame to the flame radius, and the ratio h of the flame height to the diameter.

[0063]

[0064] πV H =AB

[0065]

[0066] πV v =tan -1 (h / (s-1)) 0.5 / s+h(JK) / s

[0071] Among them, C, D, J, K, V H 、V v It is an intermediate variable introduced for the convenience of description, and π is the ratio of a circle to a circle. Specific embodiment 4

[0073] Steam cloud analysis unit: The shock wave overpressure generated by the steam cloud explosion is its main hazard. The shock wave overpressure can be calculated by the traditional TNT equivalent coefficient method, which equates the explosion energy generated by the accident explosion to a certain equivalent of TNT. The model algorithm specifically includes the following steps:

[0075] Based on thermodynamic data, Estimate the flash vaporization portion of the fuel, where F is the evaporation coefficient and C p is the average specific heat of the fuel (kJ / kgK), ΔT is the temperature difference between the temperature inside the container and the boiling point at ambient pressure (K), and L is the heat of vaporization (kJ / kg).

[0076] S42 calculates the mass of fuel in the cloud:

[0077] W f =2FW,

[0078] Where W f is the mass of fuel in the cloud (kg), W is the mass of leaked fuel (kg), and F is the flash coefficient.

[0079] S43 calculates TNT equivalent:

[0080] W TNT =α e W f H f / H TNT

[0081] Where W TNT is the TNT equivalent of the fuel (kg), W f is the mass of fuel in the cloud (kg), H f is the heat of combustion of the fuel (MJ / kg), H TNT is the explosion heat of TNT (MJ / kg), α e is the TNT equivalent coefficient, recommended α e =0.03.

[0082] S44 converts the actual distance into dimensionless distance:

[0083]

[0084] Where R is the actual distance from the explosion point (m), is the dimensionless distance (m).

[0085] At a distance R from the explosion point, according to the corresponding The overpressure can be calculated and the injuries to personnel and damage to buildings can be predicted. Specific embodiment 5
