Abstract

This work is aimed to study the jet flame behavior of hydrogen storage tank in fire scenarios. The wall temperature and internal pressure of hydrogen storage tank in fire scenarios are obtained. The effects of wall temperature and release pressure on the jet flame length are revealed. Following the hydrogen storage tank heated by bonfire, the wall temperature increases rapidly before the thermally activated pressure relief device (TPRD) is activated. The temperature rise rate is reduced when the TPRD is activated. Additionally, the wall temperature distribution is rendered non-uniform by the influence of ambient wind. A significant upward trend in the internal pressure of the hydrogen storage tank is observed 0.5–1.0 min after heating commenced. After TPRD activation, the internal pressure is rapidly decreased, resulting in the formation of a high-pressure jet flame at the TPRD orifice. The high-pressure hydrogen venting process is sustained for 2.0–5.0 min. The flame length is positively correlated with the release pressure and negatively correlated with the average wall temperature. A correlation between flame length, nozzle diameter, release pressure, and average wall temperature is established.
