Effects of Obstacle Geometry on Jet Mixing for Releases of Silane
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 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 ...
Abnormal Situation Management: a Process Dynamics Approach
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 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
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 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
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 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 ...
