Process safety and pressure-relieving devices

TL;DR: The subject of process safety is so broad in scope that this chapter must be limited to the application, design, rating, and specifications for process overpressure-relieving devices for flammable vapors and dusts; process explosions, runaway chemical reactions and external fires on equipment; and the venting or flaring of emergency or excess discharge of gases to a vent flare stack as discussed by the authors.

The pool fire case for pressure relief: Radiation exposure limited by fuel supply

TL;DR: In this article, the first step in the fire relief calculation is determining the heat flux input from the fire and methods include the simple to the very complex, covering a myriad of factors and configurations.
