Introduction Unsafe behaviours are said to both directly and indirectly contribute to 90% of all workplace accidents and incidents (Holnagel, 1993). Given the importance of behavioural patterns in the accident process it is not surprising that safety improvements focused on individual behaviours have acquired popularity in the development of safety performance (Cooper et al. 1994; Cox and Cox, ...

This communication introduces a comprehensive theory for process security assessment. The theory can quickly provide mathematically proven upper and lower bounds on minimum time to disaster (the time disaster conditions will be reached in worst-case scenarios). Computational efficiency and reliability are achieved by performing process security assessment based on a time-derivative–based approa...

According to a recent report by the Iranian industrial organization, over 1700 Industrial and Engineering Brick Manufacturing (IEBM) industries are currently running in Iran, using the same method in common use worldwide. The present research study used a combination of a literature review, existing research reports, and a model of assessment among the four main kinds of IEBM industries to esti...

A porous-dense dual-layer composite membrane reactor was proposed. The dual-layer composite membrane composed of dense 0.5 wt % Nb2O5-doped SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3-d (SCFNb) layer and porous Ba0.3Sr0.7Fe0.9Mo0.1O3-d (BSFM) layer was prepared. The stability of SCFNb membrane reactor was improved significantly by the porous-dense dual-layer design philosophy. The porous BSFM surface-coating layer can effe...

Besides, work about Thermo-physical Property Database Material Thermo-hydr...

The emergence of magnetic divertors as an impurity control and ash removal mechanism for future tokamak reactors brings on the need for further experimental verification of the divertor merits and their ability to operate at reactor relevant conditions, such as with auxiliary heating. This paper presents preliminary designs of a bundle and a poloidal divertor for Versator II, which can operate ...

Makoto Tanigawa received his Bachelor’s degree in Nuclear Engineering in 1997 from The Pennsylvania State University and subsequently worked as a reactor core analysis engineer for Westinghouse Electric Company. In 2003, he obtained a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Twente in the Netherlands. He spent 3.5 years at ASTRON (Netherlands Institute for Radioastronomy) de...

Networks C. A. Schweiger and C. A. Floudas1 Department of Chemical Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544-5263, USA Abstract{The synthesis of optimal reactor networks using a superstructure based approach is considered. The fundamental units in the superstructure are the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a cross ow reactor (CFR). The mathematical modeling leads to an op...
