The first pressure peak occurs when the vent opens, the second when turbulence and the largest flame area drive the burning rate. Based on Iqbal and Salley (2004), p. 15-5.<br /> <br /> Original illustration for [[Explosion venting]], level 4 Expert.<br /> <br /> * Source basis: Iqbal and Salley (2004), p. 15-5, Figure 15-1 after Harris (1983) (redraw, do not copy) and text (second peak from turbulence created by venting); Zalosh (2002), p. 3-415 (any of several peaks can be the maximum)<br /> * Alt text: Four small sketches of a room during a vented explosion above a pressure curve with a first peak at vent opening and a higher second peak.<br /> <br /> == Licensing ==<br /> New drawing by Fire Safety Academy. © Fire Safety Academy.</div>
