Result Interpretation

Flare Thermal Radiation Distance (Point Source Model) calculator computes Radiation Distance in m using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. Radiation Distance is expressed in m. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Flare Heat Release Rate = 50000000
  • Target Radiation Intensity Threshold = 4

Expected Result:

  • Radiation Distance = 997.35570100358

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Radiation Distance = 997.35570100358 m.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

radiation distance = sqrt(flare heat release rate / (4.0 * 3.14159265358979 * target radiation intensity threshold))
