Download or read book Workbook for Predicting Pressure Wave and Fragment Effect of Exploding Propellent Tanks and Gas Storage Vessels written by W. E. Baker and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workbook is intended to provide the designer and the safety engineer with the best available technology that they need to predict damage and hazards from explosions of propellant tanks and bursts of pressure vessels, both near and far from these explosion sources. The information is presented in the form of graphs, tables, and nomographs to allow easy calculation without recourse to difficult mathematical manipulation or the use of extensive computer programs. When complex methods have been used to develop simple prediction aids, they are fully described in appendices. Topics covered in various chapters are: Estimation of explosive yield, Characteristics of pressure waves, Effects of pressure waves, Characteristics of fragments, Effects of fragments, and Risk assessment and integrated effects. Short chapters giving discussion of results, conclusions, and recommendations for further work are also included.

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.

Download or read book Explosion Dynamics written by Ali S. Rangwala and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explosion Dynamics Structured and comprehensive introductory guide to understanding and applying explosion dynamics concepts Explosion Dynamics thoroughly explores the physical phenomena of explosions and enables readers to understand controlling variables that govern temperature, pressure, and rate of increase in pressure respectively, while also providing a mathematical framework for characterizing and applying key concepts. To promote seamless reader comprehension, this comprehensive textbook provides working examples, case studies, and assignments for self-study, as well as additional material such as property data for common gases and dusts, which supports the examples presented throughout the text. Written by two highly qualified authors, topics covered in Explosion Dynamics include: Similitude theory, similarity solutions, nonlinear systems of differential equations, gas dynamics, and chemical kinetics How a flammable mixture of gas or vapor or a suspension of powder, dust particles, or droplets forms in the industrial processing of hazardous materials Range of temperature, pressure, and concentration in which a flame can ignite and propagate How the “rate-of-pressure-rise” affects the overall explosion hazard and the viability of various explosion protection measures Providing a structured and comprehensive approach to the subject, Explosion Dynamics is an indispensable textbook that allows chemistry and engineering students, along with professional engineers and professionals in the chemical and food industries, to understand the fundamental mathematics and physics involved in explosions and develop appropriate protection and prevention measures.
Download or read book Domino Effects in the Process Industries written by Genserik Reniers and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-07-08 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domino Effects in the Process Industries discusses state-of-the-art theories, conceptual models, insights and practical issues surrounding large-scale knock-on accidents—so-called domino effects—in the chemical and process industries. The book treats such extremely low-frequency phenomena from a technological perspective, studying possible causes and introducing several approaches to assess and control the risks of these scenarios. The authors also examine these events from a managerial viewpoint, discussing single and multi-plant management insights and requirements to take pro-active measures to prevent such events. Academics, regulators, and industrialists who study and analyze domino effects in order to prevent such events will find the book unique and highly valuable. - Outlines available methods in analyzing these events, aiding understanding of the accidents and their causes - Covers current modelling, control and management tactics of domino effects, -facilitating prevention - Identifies areas where new research is needed

This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serious consequences of vapor cloud explosions, flash fires, and BLEVEs are very well known. Better understanding of the characteristics of these phenomena and models to calculate their consequences are key to effective prevention and mitigation. Cited by EPA in its 1996 document, "Off-site Consequence Analysis Guidance, " the first half of the book describes the characteristics of these phenomena and gives an overview of past experimental and theoretical research and methods to estimate consequences. The second part focuses on methods for consequence estimating by presenting sample problems. The entire book is heavily illustrated with photos, charts, tables, and diagrams, and each chapter has a full set of references for additional reading.
Download or read book Domino Effects in the Process Industries written by Alessandro Tugnoli and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-07-08 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fragments projected by equipment failures are a relevant cause of escalation leading to domino accidents. The patterns underlying this escalation mechanism were revised in detail. The fundamental phenomena available to cope with the three main steps of the phenomena (fragment formation, fragment ejection and flight, and damage from fragment impact on a target) were analyzed in detail. Models available for the calculation of escalation probability due to fragments are reported and their potentialities and limitations are discussed.
