Pressure Wave generated by a 1,000 Liter (264 gallons) N2 Dewar catastrophically failing

By /

To determine the internal static overpressure generated by the catastrophic failure of a liquid Nitrogen (LN2) dewar, we look at the physics of a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE) and the resulting rapid phase transition.
