Abstract
The failure of the pressure vessel containing pressure liquefied petroleum gas leads to Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). Further, ignition of released gas results in the formation of fireballs. In the present paper the semi-empirical equations are presented that represent the impact assessment of thermal radiation hazards from the liquefied petroleum gas fireball. Also an attempt has been made to determine the safe separation distance.
