Full Description
Evaluation of the Effects and Consequences of Major Accidents in Industrial Plants, 3rd Edition is an essential resource for professionals navigating the complexities of industrial safety. This fully revised, updated and expanded edition delves into a diverse range of significant accidents, including fires, explosions, and toxic clouds, while providing key models and methods for calculating their effects and consequences. New chapters on Natech accidents and the transportation of hazardous materials, along with updated data on accident frequencies and the domino effect, ensure that readers are equipped with the latest insights and methodologies relevant to real-world incidents. The book cover topics such as source terms, fire accidents, vapor cloud explosions, and quantitative risk analysis. Each chapter is designed to enhance understanding, with detailed analyses of recent significant accidents and the increasing risks posed by climate change, particularly in the context of forest fires and hydrogen safety. Additional annexes provide vital constants, flammability limits, and guidelines for assessing human exposure to hazardous events.
