The 3rd PRESLHY Workshop of Experimental was organised on 30 July 2020, 14:30 – 16:30 CEST online via GotoMeeting https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/607285533
The focus was on the liquid pool experiments performed by partner ProScience.

Agenda

1) Short motivation/intent of the experiments
2) Description of the set-up, sensors etc.
3) Experimental matrix
4) Results (measurement data, curves, correlations, videos including post-processing steps)
5) Discussion of exploitation – all (modelling, benchmarking, scientific publication,…..)

Documentation of the event

The presentation is available via https://hysafe.info/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/08/20200730-PS-WP3and4-Pool.pdf

The videos showing the explosion of the pool with the gravel bed (also reflected in the animated gif above) are available via the below links (better qualities will be provided via KITopen)

The following discussion started

Olav Roald Hansen, HYEX Safety (an Alle): 14:59: The pool temp is exactly the N2 freezing point (40K higher than LH2 BP), are you sure there is LH2 in the pool and not frozen air?

chris lafleur (an Alle): 15:45: the image is frozen on the VLC cone

Pekalski, Andrzej A GSUK-PTS/SE (an Alle): 15:46: No image is seen

Olav Roald Hansen, HYEX Safety (an Alle): 15:51: How long before explosion was the hydrogen injection stopped?

Pekalski, Andrzej A GSUK-PTS/SE (an Alle): 15:51: Do you expect so much CO2 there?

chris lafleur (an Alle): 15:59: It looks like a leak from the seam in the container

Stella Giannissi (NCSRD) (an Alle): 16:00: Unfortunately, I have to leave. Thank you for the presentations. Goodbye to all.

chris lafleur (an Alle): 16:07: could the rapid evaporation of the pool “blow out” the initial H2 flame

chris lafleur (an Alle): 16:07: and then the orange flame reignited that mass of gaseous H2 and was a delayed ignition?

Olav Roald Hansen, HYEX Safety (an Alle): 16:22: Thank you!

Pekalski, Andrzej A GSUK-PTS/SE (an Alle): 16:22: Many thanks!!!
