Lin, Yan-Ru; Cheng, Zhengdong; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2016)Fire and explosion incidents related to aerosol occur occasionally throughout the industries. However, its hazards are relatively overlooked due to the misconception of that liquids are safe below their flash point. As ...
-
Mahdiyati, - (2012-07-16)Chemical incidents can be prevented or mitigated by improving safety performance and implementing the lessons learned from past incidents. Despite some limitations in the range of information they provide, chemical incident ...
-
Islam, Raka (2017-04-18)This research presents an analytical 1D radial-flow model for estimating the transient flowing-fluid temperature in a single-phase oil reservoir. The model allows fluid density, viscosity, and the J-T coefficient to vary ...
-
Chaudhari, Dushyant Madhav (2016-12-07)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) pool fires pose a major risk to LNG facilities. The radiant energy from a LNG pool fire can be sufficiently high to threaten the structural integrity of the facility, plant personnel, fire ...
-
Kim, Byung-Kyu (2013-05-31)The safety and security of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities has prompted the need for continued study of LNG mitigation systems. Water spray systems are widely recognized as an effective measure for dispersing LNG ...
-
Saha, Nepu (2016-09-22)Runaway reactions are characterized by the exponential increase of the temperature and pressure of a chemical system that could potentially lead to the explosion of the reactor or storage vessel of concern. The consequences ...
-
Alshethry, Faisal Abdulrahman M (2017-07-20)The petrochemical industry is subject to various federal and local regulations and requirements that are challenging to meet and resource-intensive. Time and human factors often lead to a “check box” mentality where ...
-
Yun, Geun-Woong (2009-05-15)LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is one of the fastest growing energy sources in the U.S. to fulfill the increasing energy demands. In order to meet the LNG demand, many LNG facilities including LNG importation terminals are ...
-
Vidal Vazquez, Migvia del C. (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Flammability is an important factor of safe practices for handling and storage of liquid mixtures and for the evaluation of the precise level of risk. Flash point is a major property used to determine the fire and explosion ...

Chenc, Mingfeng; Chenga,Zhengdong; Huanga, Dali; Leic, Shijun; Mac, Rong; Mannan, M. Sam; Sebastian, Roshan; Shindec, Abhijeet; Xub,Hongfei; Zhangc,Lecheng (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)Oil spills caused by damaged oil rigs, ruptured pipelines, and tankers can have immediate and long-term detrimental effects on marine systems and aquatic life. Herein we further develop the merit of an oil spill recovery ...
-
Behie, Stewart W.; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)This paper offers an approach to the development of techniques and tools to teach risk-based decision analysis and complex decision analysis to minimize the disastrous outcomes of critical decisions taking in the worlds ...

Vázquez-Román, Richart; Díaz-Ovalle, Christian; Quiroz-Pérez, Efraín; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Accidental gas releases are detected by allocating sensors in optimal places to prevent escalation of the incident. Gas release effects are typically assessed based on calculating the dispersion from releasing points. In ...
-
Nelson, Ian Carl (2009-05-15)Colloidal solvents, containing dispersed nanometer (~1-100 nm) sized particles, are categorized as nanofluids. With the growing heat loads in engineering systems that exceed the current technological limits, nanofluids are ...
-
Sikes III, Travis Glenn (2018-06-18)Organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) have significant fire suppression capabilities but are not well understood. Chemical kinetics mechanisms can provide invaluable information about how OPCs suppress flames; however, the ...
-
Wang, Yanjun; West, Harry; Mannan, M. Sam (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)Fault tree analysis (FTA) has been used in the chemical process industry (CPI) for systematic safety and reliability analysis during the past decades. Once constructed, the fault tree can be of considerable value in ...
-
Raghunathan, Vijay (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Source term modeling is the key feature in predicting the consequences of releases from hazardous fluids. Aqueous ammonia serves the purpose of a reducing medium and is replacing anhydrous ammonia in most of the Selective ...
-
Taneja, Ankita (2018-05-01)At oil refineries and other chemical processing plants, a flare stack is used to get rid of unwanted or excessive gases and relieve the system of excess pressure. These gases can be generated during different stages of ...
-
Yun, Geun Woong (2011-10-21)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is flammable when it forms a 5 – 15 percent volumetric concentration mixture with air at atmospheric conditions. When the LNG vapor comes in contact with an ignition source, it may result in ...
