    • Abnormal Situation Management: a Process Dynamics Approach 
      Zhou, Y.; Kazantzis, N.; Mannan, M.; West, H.H.; Rogers, W.J. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2000)
      Abnormal situations are events that are outside of normal plant operating modes. It is estimated that the U. S. economy could reduce costs by $20 billion per year by avoiding abnormal situations. Modern control systems can ...
    • Analysis of the EPA RMP* Info Database 
      Al-Qurashi, F.|; Rogers, W.J.; Mannan, M. S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2000)
      EPA’s risk management program requires regulated facilities to submit a risk management plan, which includes the 5-year accident history of the facility. EPA has compiled the risk management plan in the RMP*Info database. ...
    • Droplet Size Distributions of Heat Transfer Fluid Aerosols in Air 
      Sukmarg, P.; Krishna, K.; Kihm, K; Rogers, W.J.; Mannan, M.S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2000)
      Heat transfer fluids are widely used in the chemical process industry and are available in a wide range of properties. These fluids are flammable above their flash points and can cause explosions. Though the possibility ...
    • Effects of Obstacle Geometry on Jet Mixing for Releases of Silane 
      Sposato, C.F.; Rogers, W.J.; Mannan, M.S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2000)
      Releases of silane into air and the effects of obstacles were modeled with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. First the CFD code simulated the release of a free turbulent jet of silane into air to assure ...
    • Of Computers, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and Reactivity 
      Saraf, Sanjeev; Rogers, W.J.; Mannan, M.S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)
      With the availability of powerful computers and continued reduction in computing cost, it is routinely possible to calculate the physico-chemical properties of chemicals. This paper is an overview of state-of- the-art ...
    • Theoretical and Experimental Techniques for the Evaluation of Reactive Chemical Hazards 
      Aldeeb, Abdul; Rogers, W.J.; Mannan, M.S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)
      Evaluation of reactive chemical hazards is critical for the design and operation of safer chemical plant processes. Much effort is needed for experimental techniques to measure thermal reactivity of chemical systems. ...
    • Understanding the Formation of Heat Transfer Fluid Aerosols in Air 
      Krishna, Kiran; Kim, T-K; Kihn, K.; Rogers, W.J.; Mannan, M.S. (Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2001)
      Mist or aerosol explosions present a serious hazard to process industries. Heat transfer fluids are widely used in the chemical process industry, are flammable above their flash points, and can cause explosions. Though the ...
