Investigating Dispersal Behavior Lead To An Explosion Of Engineered Nano Material Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Approach

A CFD model is developed with the aim of simulating the turbulent kinetics energy flow field induced by the aluminium particles with nano and micron size within the 20 L explosion chamber. The model was validated with a set of data from the pressure time histories that is available in the literature review. The turbulence and the particles streamline are established in the explosion chamber. The obtained results are relevant to the practice at which the severity of the explosion increases with the decrease in the size of the aluminium particles. Nevertheless, the awareness of the risk of Engineered Nano Material (ENM) is still very less especially when ENM can cause explosion if it is not handle appropriately. In spite of extensive advancement in exploration and growth with unique and valuable impact on nanotechnology sector, there are still hazard that being mentioned all these while that might be harmful for both people and environment that associate with the process industries as well.
