Download or read book Dust Explosions written by Jean Cross and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest of the media in dust explosions increased considerably following two major grain-elevator disasters in the United States in 1979. However, these were not isolated incidents and were statistically unusual only in the high loss of life involved. Any oxidizable material that is dispersed in fine powder form may be explosive, and ignition sources with sufficient energy to ignite a dust cloud are easily produced in normal industrial processing. Dust fires and minor incidents are not uncommon in many industries, but fortunately the combination of events and circumstances that must coincide for a large-scale explosion arise only rarely. Nevertheless, this is often more by luck than by good management and many potentially hazardous situations are common in industry. An explosive dust cloud and the circumstances in which it can ignite are not as simple to define as the equivalent situation in gases or flammable vapors. A large number of definitions and experimental tests have been devised to characterize the explosibility of dusts and ignition sources. The aim of this book is to provide a guide describing conditions in industry that could lead to dust explosions and the means to avoid them. Ignition sources and the way in which they can arise in powder processing are discussed and illustrated by case histories of reported incidents. The methods by which the potential hazards of a process or product can be evaluated are described, with special attention paid to the interpretation of the results of the different experimental methods.

Download or read book Computational Methods in Multiphase Flow VI written by Andrea Alberto Mammoli and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiphase flows, which can involve compressible or incompressible linear or nonlinear, fluids, Are found in all areas of technology, at all length scales and flow regimes. In spite of their ubiquitousness, however multiphase flow continues to be one of the most challenging areas of computational mechanics and experimental methods, with numerous problems remaining unsolved to date. Because the multiphase flow problems are so complex, advanced computational and experimental methods are often required to solve the equations that describe them. The many hhallenges include modelling nonlinear fluids, modelling and tracking interfaces, dealing with multiple length scales, characterizing phase structures, and treating drop breakup and coalescence. Models must be validated, which requires the use of expensive and difficult experimental techniquess. This book presents contributions on the latest research in these techniques, presented at the sixth in a biennial series of conferences on the subject that begain in 2001. Featured topics include: Bubble and drop dynamics, Flow in porous media, Turbulent flow, Multiphase flow simulation, Image processing, Heat transfer, Interaction of gases, liquids and solids, Interface behaviour, Small scale phenomena, Atomization processes, and Liquid film behaviour.

Download or read book A Study of the Growing Danger of Detonation in Unconfined Gas Cloud Explosions written by John A. Brown and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a real and growing danger of detonation of unconfined fuel-air clouds formed by massive industrial gas spills, and the danger increases with the size of the spill. A simple flame is probably not enough to initiate detonation of an unconfined gas cloud no matter how large the scale; but small contributory explosions such as a bursting pressure vessel or a muffler backfire can initiate detonations if strategically located, and gas clouds burning under confinement can undergo spontaneous transition to detonation and initiate open-air clouds. Large scale spills present a greater likelihood of detonation than do smaller spills simply because they entail more opportunities for confined burning to occur or for the cloud to reach an initiation source. Their burning phenomena do not appear to be intrinsically different from those of smaller spills. The most serious hitherto-unrecognized hazard in a refinery is the widespread existence of confined spaces in which a gas cloud can burn to detonation. They include spaces under floors and behind panels, the sewer system, stacks of empty pipe lengths and numerous others. Theoretically, a large spill of flammable gas could mix with the stoichiometric amount of air and possess the explosive power of a small atomic bomb; but experience has shown that the actual yield seldom exceeds 5% of the potential yield - although gas which does not participate in an explosion can still contribute to damage by participating in a subsequent firestorm. Techniques are available to make a quantitative assessment of the damage potential of a given spill in a given situation, and such an assessment would provide top management with the information needed to make an informed risk decision. Techniques are also available to reduce the risk of explosion in the event of a spill. They include limiting the scale of processing, limiting the growth of spill clouds by pilot lights, elimination of confined spaces in which a flame can grow to detonation, greater use of flame arrestors and the installation of gas quench systems. This report is a scouting and planning study intended to give an appreciation for the kind and amount of information that exists and to assess what might be accomplished by a full-scale safety R & D program. It presents a recommended program in sufficient detail for management evaluation and action; with the data and evidential basis for the recommendation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nuclear weapons, since their conception, have been the subject of secrecy. In the months after the dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the American scientific establishment, the American government, and the American public all wrestled with what was called the "problem of secrecy," wondering not only whether secrecy was appropriate and effective as a means of controlling this new technology but also whether it was compatible with the country's core values. Out of a messy context of propaganda, confusion, spy scares, and the grave counsel of competing groups of scientists, what historian Alex Wellerstein calls a "new regime of secrecy" was put into place. It was unlike any other previous or since. Nuclear secrets were given their own unique legal designation in American law ("restricted data"), one that operates differently than all other forms of national security classification and exists to this day. Drawing on massive amounts of declassified files, including records released by the government for the first time at the author's request, Restricted Data is a narrative account of nuclear secrecy and the tensions and uncertainty that built as the Cold War continued. In the US, both science and democracy are pitted against nuclear secrecy, and this makes its history uniquely compelling and timely"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the Flat Top program was to photograph the fireball, shockwave, base surge, ejecta, and early and late cloud formations on each of three separate high-explosive detonations used to simulate equivalent detonations of nuclear devices. Excellent results were obtained on 16-mm, 35-mm, and 70-mm black-and-white film and 35-mm color film. Detailed descriptions of the photographic instrumentation and representative samples of the film records from each of the three events are included in this report. Recommendations for improved coverage on future experiments of this type include the use of an additional close-in photo station, faster framing rates, the use of a timer as a backup on camera shutter closure systems, and more extensive use of color film.
