This book was released on 1967 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements of the ignition time and surface temperature, at the time of ignition for cellulosic fuels in varying atmospheric environments were made in order to help illuminate the mechanism responsible for the spontaneous ignition of these materials exposed to thermal radiation. It was assumed that the mechanism would fall into one of three categories, and these were: (1) A piloted self-ignition, which is dependent in some way upon the temperature of the pyrolyzing solid. (2) A thermal self-ignition which is governed mainly by gaseous heat transfer. (3) A free-radical chain branching self-ignition which should be quite pressure dependent. The varied environmental atmospheric parameters were: (1) Total atmospheric pressure, holding the oxygen concentration constant; (2) oxygen concentration with the total pressure held constant; and (3) the thermal conductivity of the atmospheric environment by use of different diluent gases with both the total pressure and oxygen concentration held constant. Both the surface temperature and ignition response data provide evidence which indicate the thermal self-ignition to be the most likely mechanism responsible for this phenomena. (Author).

Download or read book Lees Loss Prevention in the Process Industries written by Frank Lees and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2005-01-25 with total page 3708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades the process industries have grown very rapidly, with corresponding increases in the quantities of hazardous materials in process, storage or transport. Plants have become larger and are often situated in or close to densely populated areas. Increased hazard of loss of life or property is continually highlighted with incidents such as Flixborough, Bhopal, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, the Phillips 66 incident, and Piper Alpha to name but a few. The field of Loss Prevention is, and continues to, be of supreme importance to countless companies, municipalities and governments around the world, because of the trend for processing plants to become larger and often be situated in or close to densely populated areas, thus increasing the hazard of loss of life or property. This book is a detailed guidebook to defending against these, and many other, hazards. It could without exaggeration be referred to as the "bible" for the process industries. This is THE standard reference work for chemical and process engineering safety professionals. For years, it has been the most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment, regulations and laws covering the field of process safety. An entire library of alternative books (and cross-referencing systems) would be needed to replace or improve upon it, but everything of importance to safety professionals, engineers and managers can be found in this all-encompassing reference instead. Frank Lees' world renowned work has been fully revised and expanded by a team of leading chemical and process engineers working under the guidance of one of the world’s chief experts in this field. Sam Mannan is professor of chemical engineering at Texas A&M University, and heads the Mary Kay O’Connor Process Safety Center at Texas A&M. He received his MS and Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of Oklahoma, and joined the chemical engineering department at Texas A&M University as a professor in 1997. He has over 20 years of experience as an engineer, working both in industry and academia. New detail is added to chapters on fire safety, engineering, explosion hazards, analysis and suppression, and new appendices feature more recent disasters. The many thousands of references have been updated along with standards and codes of practice issued by authorities in the US, UK/Europe and internationally. In addition to all this, more regulatory relevance and case studies have been included in this edition. Written in a clear and concise style, Loss Prevention in the Process Industries covers traditional areas of personal safety as well as the more technological aspects and thus provides balanced and in-depth coverage of the whole field of safety and loss prevention. * A must-have standard reference for chemical and process engineering safety professionals * The most complete collection of information on the theory, practice, design elements, equipment and laws that pertain to process safety * Only single work to provide everything; principles, practice, codes, standards, data and references needed by those practicing in the field
Download or read book Ignition Hardening of Cellulosic Materials written by Norman J. Alvares and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ignition response of blackened alpha-cellulose and cotton cloth, containing fire retardant additives, was compared to the ignition response of these materials without additives. This information was obtained by exposing the samples to various irradiance levels from a calibrated thermal radiation source. Samples treated with retardant compounds which showed the most promise were then isothermally pyrolyzed, in air, so that comparisons between the pyrolysis rates of the samples could be obtained. These comparisons yielded further insight into the mechanism of thermal degradation. Similar ignition response measurements were made with specimens exposed to ionizing radiation. Alpha-cellulose samples containing a mixture of boric acid, borax, and ammonium di-hydrogen phosphate could not be ignited by irradiances up to 4.0 cal/sq cm/sec. Above this value, transient ignition would occur but flaming would last only until the ignitible gases were exhausted from the samples. Cotton cloth containing a polymeric retardant with the designation THPC + MM was found to be ignition resistant below an irradiance of 7.0 cal/sq cm/sec. Comparison of the pyrolysis rates of the retardant treated alpha-cellulose and cotton showed that the retardant mechanism is qualitatively the same. It was also found that gamma radiation results in ignition retardance of cellulose, while irradiation by neutrons, does not. (Author).
