Simulation Analysis of Air Temperature Effects on Propylene Storage Tank Leaks

Abstract Advance computer simulations can help getting ideas about chemical spills and how to mitigate those critical emergency situations. A propylene (C3H6) storage tank is considered for this analysis to learn hazard involve from its leaks. The analysis reveals using the software the extent of damage to nearby neighborhoods and surroundings. This analysis also leads to scientific strategies for propylene storage leak safety management. This software is used in the classrooms for this study over the years to teach chemical spill. Students' comments and responses indicate that they like this software as it is easy to use and has very user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI). Classroom and training class discussions using this software will save money to do chemical spill mitigation and control in house with expensive devices. Furthermore, to the best of the author knowledge, this is the first reported work where chemical spill hazards related to air temperature using this software is used which is an inexpensive way to prepare and control chemical spills.
