Reaction mechanism of cumene hydroperoxide decomposition in cumene and evaluation of its reactivity hazards
(2009-05-15)
Cumene hydroperoxide (CHP), a type of organic peroxide, is widely used in the chemical industry for diverse applications. However, it decomposes and undergoes highly exothermic runaway reactions under high temperature ...
Bayesian-lopa methodology for risk assessment of an LNG importation terminal
(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 ...
Experimental measurements and modeling prediction of flammability limits of binary hydrocarbon mixtures
(2009-05-15)
Flammability limit is a significant safety issue for industrial processes. A certain
amount of flammability limit data for pure hydrocarbons are available in the literature,
but for industrial applications, there are ...
Engineering for sustainable development for bio-diesel production
(2009-05-15)
Engineering for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an integrated systems approach,
which aims at developing a balance between the requirements of the current stakeholders
without compromising the ability of the future ...
Effect of availability on multi-period planning of subsea oil and gas production systems
(2009-05-15)
Natural gas and petroleum are non-renewable and scarce energy sources.
Although, it is well known that hydrocarbon reserves are depleting through the years, oil
and gas remain the principal source of energy upon which our ...
The application of expansion foam on liquefied natural gas (LNG) to suppress LNG vapor and LNG pool fire thermal radiation
(2009-05-15)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) hazards include LNG flammable vapor dispersion and
LNG pool fire thermal radiation. A large LNG pool fire emits high thermal radiation
thus preventing fire fighters from approaching and extinguishing ...
Layer of protection analysis applied to ammonia refrigeration systems
(2009-05-15)
Ammonia refrigeration systems are widely used in industry. Demand of these
systems is expected to increase due to the advantages of ammonia as refrigerant and
because ammonia is considered a green refrigerant. Therefore, ...
Development of new methodologies for evaluating the energy performance of new commercial buildings
(2009-06-02)
The concept of Measurement and Verification (M&V) of a new building continues to become
more important because efficient design alone is often not sufficient to deliver an efficient building.
Simulation models that are ...
Computational fluid dynamics for LNG vapor dispersion modeling: a key parameters study
(2009-05-15)
The increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has led to the construction of several new
LNG terminals in the United States (US) and around the world. To ensure the safety of the
public, consequence modeling is used ...
An Evaluation of the Bioclimatic Chart for Choosing Design Strategies for a Thermostatically-Controlled Residence in Selected Climates
(2009-05-15)
To be successful in sustainable building design, architects must consider energy
efficient design strategies in the early design stage. Unfortunately, many architects still
rely on simplified analysis, synthesis techniques, ...
