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 ...
Use of Fault Trees for Quantitative Risk Assessment
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
There are many examples in industry where accidents have occurred because of process safeguard failures. With the increasing risk of accidents and approval of ISA- S84.01 and IEC 61508, people are making extensive efforts ...
Process Safeguards and Risk Analysis for Offshore Proccessing
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center, 2000)
Process safeguards have been traditionally designed into petroleum processing systems. The confined and remote nature of offshore petroleum added special conditions to process safeguard requirements. Increased regulatory ...
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 ...
