TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on a comprehensive summary of the East Harlem gas explosion in Manhattan, New York and investigated how the tragedy occurs in the neighborhood of Manhattan and how it influences the probability and the scale of this accident causing corresponding damages.

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-pressure experimental apparatus was developed to investigate the flammability limits of natural gas/air mixtures at reservoir conditions with pressure ranging from 1.5MPa to 15MPa and temperature ranging from 40°C to 120°C.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the explosion characteristics of DME-blended LPG mixtures with different DME contents and equivalence ratios using a closed vessel and found that the explosion hazard increased with increasing DME content, reaching peak values at the equivalence ratio of 1.2.

TL;DR: In this study, the ejection process and microphase change process in the vessel were recorded by a high-speed camera and the pressure peaks surpassed the initial values and were considered to be the initiation of a sequence that generated a CO2 BLEVE under certain conditions.

TL;DR: A full-scale manhole model was established, in which the explosion overpressure of methane/air mixtures were studied experimentally, and it was found that when the methane concentration was close to stoichiometric ratio, the ignition location was further away from the manhole head, and the weight of manhole cover increased, the peak over pressure of blast wave caused by explosion increased.
