(a) A 300kg tank of butane has been installed at MVL Sdn. Bhd. The tank is about 00 meters from the administration building.
(The energy of explosion of TNT is 4686kJkg. The heat of combustion for butane; Lower: -2657.5 kJ/mol, Upper: -2877.5 kJ/mol. MW: Carbon -12; Hydrogen -1).
i. Compute the side-on peak overpressure, if the explosion is occurred on the air and assume the explosion efficiency is 2%.
ii. Based on your answer in a(i), determine the percentage of asset loss due to the explosion occurred.
(a) Administration control (AC) and personal protective equipment (PPE) are the two types of control measures can be used to mitigate hazard. These often found to be less effective. Point out the reason for its less effectiveness.
