L H2-Tank Rupture Tests

Experiment ID LH2-Tank rupture tests
Short Description Tanks for cars with liquid hydrogen up to 70 l were ruptured at the top and the instantaneous jet ignited: high speed cinematography, pressure measurements and radiation measurements at distances of about 20 - 22 m
What phenomena were studied Tables, graphs of Pressure, radiation intensity, temperatures depending on time

Films of the events

What phenomena / effects can be studied Quantitative measurement of radiation in correlation to pressure and time
Instrumentation Transient pressure time histories have been recorded at various positions. 11 Kistler piezoelectric pressure transducers

High speed cameras up to 2 000 frames /s Spectroscopy: UV:  Diode array, 300-330nm, 0.1 nm, scan 10 ms,
