Transactions on Engineering Technologies
This book features a selection of revised and extended research articles written by prominent researchers who participated in the 26th World Congress on Engineering and Computer Science (WCECS 2018), held in San Francisco, USA, on October 23–25, 2018. Topics covered include engineering mathematics, electrical engineering, communications systems, computer science, chemical engineering, systems engineering, manufacturing engineering and industrial applications. With contributions carefully chosen to represent the most cutting-edge research presented at the conference and highlighting the state of the art in engineering technologies and the physical sciences and their applications, the book is a valuable reference resource for graduate students and researchers working in these fields.
Domino Effects in the Process Industries
Escalation triggered by fires resulting in domino scenarios was the cause of severe accidents in the process industry. As a matter of fact, the catastrophic failure of process equipment, both pressurized and atmospheric, may be induced by the heat-up due to the exposure to accidental fires, leading to the loss of containment of hazardous materials. In this chapter, the behavior of equipment exposed to accidental fire will be investigated in order to identify the fundamental mechanisms underlying the failure of vessels exposed to fire. In particular, both simplified tools and detailed models for the assessment of the performance of vessels involved in fires will be discussed. The final aim is to provide methods for the quantitative assessment of domino hazards caused by accidental fires, and for the application of both passive and active strategies for the control and reduction of the risk associated with incident escalation triggered by fire.
Lloyd's Register of Shipping 1887
The Lloyd's Register of Shipping records the details of merchant vessels over 100 gross tonnes, which are self-propelled and sea-going, regardless of classification. Before the time, only those vessels classed by Lloyd's Register were listed. Vessels are listed alphabetically by their current name.
The Handbook of Language and Gender
The Handbook of Language and Gender is a collection of articles written by leading specialists in the field that examines the dynamic ways in which women and men develop and manage gendered identities through their talk. Provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and stimulating picture of the field for students and researchers in a wide range of disciplines Features data and case studies from interactions in different social contexts and from a range of different communities
Domino Effects in the Process Industries
Domino Effects in the Process Industries discusses state-of-the-art theories, conceptual models, insights and practical issues surrounding large-scale knock-on accidents—so-called domino effects—in the chemical and process industries. The book treats such extremely low-frequency phenomena from a technological perspective, studying possible causes and introducing several approaches to assess and control the risks of these scenarios. The authors also examine these events from a managerial viewpoint, discussing single and multi-plant management insights and requirements to take pro-active measures to prevent such events. Academics, regulators, and industrialists who study and analyze domino effects in order to prevent such events will find the book unique and highly valuable. Outlines available methods in analyzing these events, aiding understanding of the accidents and their causes Covers current modelling, control and management tactics of domino effects, -facilitating prevention Identifies areas where new research is needed
Integrity of Structures and Fluid Systems, Hazardous Release Protection, Piping and Pipe Supports, and Pumps and Valves
Topics covered in 27 papers (from a symposium of the July 1996 conference) include integrity of structures and fluid systems; pipe supports, restraints, and other pressure piping components; hazardous release protection; and pumps and valves. A sampling of topics: local stresses in cylindrical vesse
