BASED ON THE AUTHOR'S MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN PRACTICING SAFETY ASSESSMENT IN INDUSTRY AND TEACHING STUDENTS OR PROFESSIONALS IN THIS AREA, THE TOPIC OF THIS BOOK IS SELDOM FOUND ON UNIVERSITY CURRICULA AND MANY PROFESSIONALS DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED TO INTERPRET THERMAL DATA IN TERMS OF RISKS. FOR THIS REASON, FRANCIS STOESSEL ADOPTS A UNIQUE SYSTEMATIC HOW–TO–DO APPROACH: EACH CHAPTER BEGINS WITH A CASE HISTORY ILLUSTRATING THE TOPIC AND PRESENTING THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE INCIDENT. IN SO DOING, HE ANALYZES A GOLDMINE OF NUMEROUS EXAMPLES STEMMING FROM INDUSTRIAL PRACTICE, ADDITIONALLY PROVIDING A SERIES OF PROBLEMS OR CASE STUDIES AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER. DIVIDED INTO THREE DISTINCT SECTIONS, PART ONE LOOKS AT THE GENERAL ASPECTS OF THERMAL PROCESS SAFETY, WHILE PART 2 DEALS WITH MASTERING EXOTHERMAL REACTIONS. THE FINAL SECTION DISCUSSES THE AVOIDANCE OF SECONDARY REACTIONS, INCLUDING HEAT ACCUMULATION AND THERMAL CONFINEMENT.

Reseña del editor:
Based on the author's many years of experience in practicing safety assessment in industry and teaching students or professionals in this area, the topic of this book is seldom found on university curricula and many professionals do not have the knowledge required to interpret thermal data in terms of risks. For this reason, Francis Stoessel adopts a unique systematic how-to-do approach: Each chapter begins with a case history illustrating the topic and presenting the lessons learned from the incident. In so doing, he analyzes a goldmine of numerous examples stemming from industrial practice, additionally providing a series of problems or case studies at the end of each chapter. Divided into three distinct sections, part one looks at the general aspects of thermal process safety, while Part 2 deals with mastering exothermal reactions. The final section discusses the avoidance of secondary reactions, including heat accumulation and thermal confinement.
