Thermal Hazards in the Chemical Industry
نویسنده
چکیده
Thermal hazards can be broadly divided into two categories: energy released during desired reaction and energy released during unwanted reaction. The first of these encompasses enthalpies of reaction, crystallisation, melting, and dissolution whilst the second is usually associated with heats of decomposition reaction. The majority of incidents are caused by either equipment failure (e.g. loss of cooling or agitation) or human error (e.g. mischarging and over heating) and these incidents can occur either during under standard processing conditions or by deviation from the standard conditions.

متن کاملEffect of Functionalization Process on Thermal Conductivity of Graphene Nanofluids
In this research, Graphene was synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in atmosphere pressure (14.7 psi). Different functionalization method was used for oxidizing of graphene such as acid and alkaline treatments. The Functionalized graphene (FG) was characterized by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. Nanofluid with water and different concentration (0.05, 0.15 and 0.25 wt %) of ...
