Download or read book Gas Dust and Hybrid Explosions written by W.E. Baker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Damaging accidental explosions are a continuous threat to industry. Categories for such explosions include combustible dust explosions; reactive gas explosions, both confined and unconfined; hybrid explosions involving both gases and dusts; bursts of pressure vessels and piping; and liquid propellant explosions. This book evaluates the physical processes and resulting blast effects for these types of explosions. Special attention is given to reactive gas explosions, both confined and unconfined. This latter class of explosion has occurred all too frequently in refineries and petrochemical complexes, and is also one of the most difficult to predict and evaluate. Much recent work on this topic is reviewed and summarized. This is the only publication of its kind, to date, that offers such a thorough coverage of these types of industrial explosions. [p] Each class of explosion source is reviewed separately, first discussing fundamentals, then presenting methods of analysis and testing, and finally giving curves or equations to predict effects of the particular class of explosion. An extensive bibliography is included together with tables of pertinent properties of explosive materials. The text also includes many figures, equations, tables and a keyword index. The book is intended for researchers in the field of characterizing and mitigating industrial explosions. It will also be of interest to engineers, scientists, and insurers involved in processes.

Book excerpt: The Gross and Goofy Body series takes readers on a fresh and innovative journey through the body, giving them a fascinating view into all the weird and interesting things about human and animal bodies. Written in a fun, kid-friendly tone, and arranged in lively, illustration-full spreads rather than chapters, the Gross and Goofy Body couples gross and goofy facts about the body with serious science. Each book explores a new area or function of the body, from bones to nerves to sneezing and passing gas. Each spread is packed with visuals, including scientific photos as well as fun illustrations. a note from the author tells readers how information was gathered, and a find out more section includes websites and books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas Explosion Handbook provides an overview of the latest research on gas explosion hazards within the oil and gas industry, and is the only book which focuses specifically on gas explosions. The book is informed by the author's long experience in safety consulting, supporting his findings with examples and case studies. This useful resource reviews all relevant scientific and technical work performed in the field, and presents important lessons on release phenomena, dispersion processes, ignition sources and their properties, explosion processes and phenomena, blast waves, modeling of release, dispersion and explosion, hazardous area classification, and probabilities of release and ignition. The current regulatory frameworks, both onshore and offshore, from several countries are also reviewed, together with national and international standards supporting these regulations. The book is suitable for those new to the area as well as experienced professionals. Provides an overview of the latest research on gas explosion hazards within the oil and gas industry Designed to prevent accidents, injury, loss of life, and capital damage Includes onshore and offshore International regulatory standards Features the different type of models for gas explosions, and provides guidance as to which model is appropriate to a situation Covers tactics for conducting gas explosion safety studies, considering ventilation, gas dispersion and gas explosions for traditional platform constructions, FPSO's, and FLNG's

Download or read book The Gas Dynamics of Explosions written by John H. S. Lee and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-21 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosions, and the non-steady shock propagation associated with them, continue to interest researchers working in different fields of physics and engineering (such as astrophysics and fusion). Based on the author's course in shock dynamics, this book describes the various analytical methods developed to determine non-steady shock propagation. These methods offer a simple alternative to the direct numerical integration of the Euler equations and offer a better insight into the physics of the problem. Professor Lee presents the subject systematically and in a style that is accessible to graduate students and researchers working in shock dynamics, combustion, high-speed aerodynamics, propulsion and related topics.

Download or read book Detonable Gas Explosion written by M. J. Balcerzak and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The explosion of detonable gas mixtures was established as a feasible means for simulating blast and shock environments. The problems in deploying large balloons for containing the gas mixture appear to be the only limitation on the size of the explosion that can be generated. The blast focusing technique appears to have practical application where peak overpressures above 30 psi are required. Considerable savings in explosives can be realized above the 100 psi range. This report is divided into two parts: Part I Detonable Gas Explosion; Part II (bound separately) Blast Focusing Technique.
