METS2 Short Course 4
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, 2013)
The Influence of Particle Size and Crystalline Level on the Combustion Characteristics of Particulated Solids
(2013-07-29)
Over the past years, catastrophic dust explosion incidents have caused numerous injuries, fatalities and economical losses. Dust explosions are rapid exothermic reactions that take place when a combustible dust is mixed ...
Discotic Colloids
(2013-07-25)
Many materials and biological systems in nature are suspensions composed of disks, such as clay, asphaltenes, and red blood cells. Despite their natural abundance and wide industrial application, disks are least studied ...
Flammability Characteristics of Hydrogen and Its Mixtures with Light Hydrocarbons at Atmospheric and Sub-atmospheric Pressures
(2013-07-13)
Knowledge of flammability limits is essential in the prevention of fire and explosion. There are two limits of flammability, upper flammability limit (UFL) and lower flammability limit (LFL), which define the flammable ...
Experimental and Computational Study of Flame Inhibition Mechanisms of Halogenated Compounds in C1-C3 Alkanes Flames
(2013-07-30)
After the restriction of different halogenated fire suppressants by the Montreal Protocol, there is an urgent need to identify environmentally friendlier alternatives. In particular, several efforts have been conducted ...
A New Facility for Studying Shock Wave Passage over Dust Layers
(2013-05-30)
To ensure safety regarding dust explosion hazards, it is important to study the dust lifting process experimentally and identify important parameters that will be valuable for development and validation of numerical ...
Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics in the Forced Dispersion Modeling of LNG Vapor Clouds
(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 ...
A Human Performance Modeling System for Process Safety Operations
(2013-01-02)
Operators have a crucial role in case of an emergency in a process facility. When an abnormality occurs in the process, the operator has a limited time to take corrective actions before system safety devices shut down the ...
High Flash-point Fluid Flow System Aerosol Flammability Study and Combustion Mechanism Analysis
(2013-12-02)
The existence of flammable aerosols creates fire and explosion hazards in the process industry. Due to the operation condition of high pressure circumstances, heat transfer fluids tend to form aerosols when accidental ...
