Abstract
Vapor explosion is one of the explosion phenomena, which may occur in many industrial fields. In many previous studies, a single metal and water were used as the high-temperature liquid and low-temperature liquid, respectively. However, there are few reports related to the experiments using high-temperature liquid with chloride. Thus, our present focus is on the vapor explosion using high-temperature liquid with chloride. The vapor explosion behavior and pressure were obtained simultaneously. The experimental results were evaluated on the temperature map, the so-called Thermal-Interaction Zone (TIZ). From the evaluation, it is confirmed that the vapor explosion was prone to occur when using the metal with chloride, while the explosion did not occur when using only the metal in the same temperature condition.
