Comparison of Explosion Methods for Large-Scale Unconfined Elongated Explosions with Propane and Methane mixtures
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
Existing methods for flame propagation and deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) prediction can be divided into three main categories: empirical models, phenomenological and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based. ...
Experimental Study of an Iron-Based Metal-Organic Framework as Flame Retardant for Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is a kind of widely used thermoplastic in the family of poly (acrylic ester)s due to its good mechanical properties, like good moldability, high resistance to UV light and weathering, high ...
Develop a Hazard Index Using Machine Learning Approach for the Hazard Identification of Chemical Logistic Warehouses
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
With the rapid development of chemical process plants, the safe storage of hazardous chemicals become an essential topic. Several chemical warehouse incidents related to fire and explosion have been reported recently. ...
Exploration of relationships between safety performance and unsafe behavior in coal mining processes
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2019)
It is well known that safety performance is differentiated to two components, namely, safety compliance and safety participation. However, relationships between safety performance and unsafe behavior were barely explored. ...
Evacuation Simulation of Confined Spaces in Petrochemical Facilities
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2015)
With the development of petrochemical industry, confined space evacuation has been a major safety issue due to the potential fatalities and injuries caused by inadequate emergency responses. In this work, two existing ...
