$215.00
 |
The book analyzes the different major accidents
which can occur in process plants and during the transportation of hazardous
materials.
The main features of fires, explosions and toxic
releases are discussed, and a set of mathematical models allowing the prediction
of their effects and consequences are explained.
With a practical approach, the models are applied
to simple illustrative examples, as well as to more complex real cases.
The use of these calculations in the frame of
Quantitative Risk Analysis is also treated.
Evaluation of the effects of major accidents in
industrial installations covers the following topics:
- general introduction
- source term
- fire accidents
- vapour cloud explosions
- BLEVEs and vessel explosions
- atmospheric dispersion of toxic or flammable
clouds
- vulnerability
- and quantitative risk analysis
This book is a useful tool for engineering
professionals, as well as an interesting reference for teaching at graduate and
post-graduate levels.
