Soman , G.Sundararaj 1Research Scholar, 2Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India Abstract — This work is concerned with the consequence The equivalent TNT mass model, TNT multi energy analysis of vapour cloud explosion (VCE) due to accidental model and Baker-Strehlow models are used to estimate the release of hydrogen (H ) from the hydrogen holder in a chlor- 2 overpressure resulting from VCE. We used Probit analysis alkali plant. Hydrogen is highly flammable if released to estimate the impact of VCE on people and structures [10, accidentally may lead to flash fire or VCE which has the 11]. The probable consequences resulting from a gas fuel potential to damage people, equipment and facilities in the vicinity of the hydrogen holder. The equivalent TNT, TNO leak are shown in figure 1. multi energy and Baker-strehlow models are used to estimate the overpressure from the explosion. The probit equation is used to estimate the fatalities of people and damage
