There is no applicable existing standard for the determination of safety characteristics for hybrid mixtures. While developing a new standard in a joint research project in Germany first results from parameter studies led to a standard procedure that can be adopted by laboratorie ...
Many industrial processes handle, use, or produce metallic particles small enough to explode in air, thus posing severe explosion hazards. Finishing operations, for example, create very fine particles and have been involved in a growing number of accidents in recent years. New em ...
The Chemical-Engineering model describes how the synergetic combination of chemical and engineering factors determines gas, particulate, and hybrid explosion behavior. Explosion behavior is expressed as explosion sensitivity (e.g. probability of explosion), explosion severity (e. ...
In facilities handling combustible dusts, the isolation of propagating deflagrations requires great attention due to the potential catastrophic consequences of secondary dust explosions. While the ability of dust explosions to propagate is widely recognized, some misconceptions s ...
Metal dust deflagrations have become increasingly common in recent years. They are also more devastating than deflagrations involving organic materials, owing to metals' higher heat of combustion, rate of pressure rise, explosion pressure and flame temperature. Aluminum finishing ...
Dust explosibility is traditionally described by two parameters, namely the maximum explosion pressure, Pmax, and the deflagration index, KSt, usually determined through testing in a closed, pressure-resistant spherical vessel, either 20 L or 1 m3 ...
Fires and explosions are a major cause of property damage and injuries around the world. The rapid injection of sodium bicarbonate solid particles is one of the techniques used to suppress or prevent the propagation of explosions in industrial facilities. The current study invest ...
The complexity of domino scenarios represented a considerable obstacle to the quantitative assessment of risk posed by escalation events. In the present chapter, the state of the art concerning quantitative approaches proposed for the assessment of risk caused by domino accidents ...
