Type of article: Article

Summary

A thermal analysis of the slow depressurization of a high-pressure gas-filled vessel in relation to operation safety is described. The inherent difficulties and similarities of simple mathematical models and their solutions are discussed. A safety criterion to prevent the vessel wall temperature from dropping below the ductile-brittle transition limit of the steel is established. The influences of some important system parameters are investigated.
