    • Application of Ab initio Principles for Prediction of Chemical Reactivity 
      Saraf, S. R.; Rogers, W. J.; Mannan, M. S (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2000)
      To simulate the behavior of a chemical reaction or unit operation, thermodynamic, kinetic or mechanistic information is necessary. Such data are usually obtained from direct experimental measurements, empirical correlations, ...
    • Evaluation of Styrene-Acrylonitrile Copolymerization Thermal Stability and Runaway Behavior 
      Aldeeb, A. A.; Rogers, W. J.; Mannan, M. S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2002)
      Evaluation of thermal stability and runaway behavior of any exothermic chemical reaction is of great importance to the design and operation of a chemical process. The evaluation process should be based on a thorough ...
    • Inherent Safety Index For Transportation Of Chemicals 
      Gentile, M.; Rogers, W. J.; Mannan, M. S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2002)
      Inherent Safety can be understood as the absence or reduction of hazards (which implies lower risk) rather than low risk reached by add-on protective barriers. While the methodologies for risk analysis are well developed ...
    • Use of Failure Rate Databases and Process Safety Performance Measurements to Improve Process Safety 
      Keren, N.; West, H. H.; Rogers, W. J.; Gupta, P. J.; Mannan, M. S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2002)
      In this paper, a methodology is proposed to combine process safety performance measurements techniques, decision-making strategies, applications of private and generic databases, reliability calculations, and benchmarking ...
