Overview of Explosions And Explosion Safety : Explosions and Explosion-Safety comprehensively covers the basics of explosions and explosion-safety. Also, the likely causes and consequences of explosions, as well as the modelling and predictions are dealt with in detail. The book covers: physical principles governing various kinds of explosions lucid explanations of methods for modelling and analyzing explosions predictions for blast waves from explosions and simple procedures for determining yield, classifying risks and ensuring safety assessment of gaseous, dust, condensed phase and physical explosions and bursting of pressure vessels dispersion of combustible gases and pollutants in atmosphere The book would serve as an invaluable reference for professionals involved in handling and using combustibles-including oil and gas and high-energy materials in industry-space research, aviation, defence equipment, etc. Advanced students of mechanical, chemical, petroleum and aeronautical engineering-specialising in fuels, combustion and detonation, propulsion, fire and safety engineering and chemical process safety-will also find the book useful.
