      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Metallinou, Maria-Monika; Log, Torgrim; Frette, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-06-09)
      The present work outlines a method for measuring the cooling efficiency of droplets impinging onto hot metal discs in the temperature range of 85 °C to 400 °C, i.e., covering the boiling regimes experienced when applying ...
    • Scenario based analysis of fire escalation in a gas process plant 

      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng (Master thesis, 2013-05-28)
      This study takes place on a medium sized gas process plant called reference plant. In this thesis several escalation scenarios, as well as gas dispersion, is evaluated through Kameleon KFX and Vessfire. It has previously ...
    • Small Scale Hydrocarbon Fire Test Concept 

      Bjørge, Joachim Søreng; Metallinou, Maria-Monika; Kraaijeveld, Arjen; Log, Torgrim (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-11-14)
      In the oil and gas industry, hydrocarbon process equipment was previously often thermally insulated by applying insulation directly to the metal surface. Fire protective insulation was applied outside the thermal insulation. ...
