Explosion prevention and technology

The subject deals with the process of burning and explosion of a mixture of flammable gases, vapors of flammable liquids, mists and flammable dusts. Furthermore, the accompanying phenomena that precede or follow explosive transformations (both chemical and physical) are discussed. The course explains the propagation of pressure waves and their effect on the environment under various working conditions. The impacts of dangerous concentrations and evaluation of initiation sources are evaluated together with the possibility of using software tools. The course is complemented by practical examples and case studies from history.
