VessFire: Simulation of Thermo-Mechanical Response of Pressure Vessels, Flow Lines to Flare, Pipe Work and Heat Exchangers to Fire

03 August 2011 by Petrell

VessFire is a computer program for the time-dependent non-linear analysis of thermo-mechanical response during blowdown of process segments and process equipment exposed and unexposed to fire. The program is based on a coupled solution of problems using a combined numerical and analytical approach.

VessFire may be used for the simulation of vessels with no flow or flow lines / pipe work or heat exchangers with flow, where in the latter case, the flow removes heat transferred from the fire. Any time variation of the heat input from the fire may be simulated.
