A Review on Different Models for Heat Transfer Assessment in Hydrocarbons Fires

Since the beginning of industrial revolution, accidents caused by the hydrocarbons are increased significantly. In order to reduce the accidents and unintentional events, this project considers heat transfer assessment of fires of safety pertaining to bulk storage of liquids and gases in a petroleum refinery. According to the classification of various types of storage tanks for liquid and gas are taken into account and it also suggest the design and construction criteria for the safe storage. It deals over various problem and difficulties of oil and gas industries like BLEVE, UVCE, Fire Ball Hazard, LPG Hazard and many more. When proper attention towards heat transfer assessment of fires in bulk storage of hydrocarbons, separation distances of storage tanks, secondary containment, application of water and foam against fire protection, fire alert systems etc are in action, there will be sound result in terms of safety of health, environment and property.
