Evaporation characteristics during decompression of liquified CO2 from a conical-shaped vessel

Safe transport of pressurized CO2 requires a profound knowledge of the processes' effect during the phase transition on catastrophic failure of a tanker filled with liquid CO2. This study presents experimental results and analyses associated with the characteristics of expansion waves during de...
