15.10: Vaporization

15.10 Vaporization

If the fluid that escapes from containment is a liquid, then vaporization must occur before a vapour cloud is formed. The process of vaporization determines the rate at which material enters the cloud. It also determines the amount of air entrained into the cloud. Both aspects are important for the subsequent dispersion. Selected references on vaporization are given in Table 15.7
