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 ...
Models for multi-strata safety performance measurements in the process industry
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Measuring process safety performance is a challenge, and the wide variations in understanding, compliance, and implementation of process safety programs increase the challenge. Process safety can be measured in three strata: ...
Development of a hierarchical fuzzy model for the evaluation of inherent safety
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Inherent safety has been recognized as a design approach useful to remove or reduce hazards at the source instead of controlling them with add-on protective barriers. However, inherent safety is based on qualitative ...
Study of formation and convective transport of aerosols using optical diagnostic technique
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The characteristics of liquid and solid aerosols have been intensively investigated by means of optical diagnostic techniques. Part I describes the characteristics of liquid aerosol formation formed by heat transfer fluids ...
Data driven process monitoring based on neural networks and classification trees
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Process monitoring in the chemical and other process industries has been of great practical importance. Early detection of faults is critical in avoiding product quality deterioration, equipment damage, and personal injury. ...
Binary mixture flammability characteristics for hazard assessment
(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 ...
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 ...
Measurement of flammability in a closed cylindrical vessel with thermal criteria
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Accurate flammability limit information is necessary for safe handling of gas and
liquid mixtures, and safe operation of processes using such mixtures. The flammability
limit is the maximum or minimum fuel concentration ...
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 ...
The Safe Storage Study for Autocatalytic Reactive Chemicals
(2010-10-12)
In the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) report,
Improving Reactive Hazard Management, there are 37 out of 167 accidents, which
occurred in a storage tank or a storage area. This fact demonstrates ...
