This textbook covers the essential aspects of process safety engineering in a practical and comprehensive manner. It provides readers with an understanding of process safety hazards in the refining and petrochemical industries and how to manage them in a reliable and professional manner. It covers the most important concepts: static electricity, intensity of thermal radiation, thermodynamics of fluid phase equilibria, boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE), emission source models, hazard identification methods, risk control and methods for achieving manufacturing excellence while also focusing on safety. Extensive case studies are included. Aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate chemical engineering students and practicing engineers, this book covers process safety principles and engineering practice authoritatively, with comprehensive examples: • Fundamentals, methods, and procedures for the industrial practice of process safety engineering. • The thermodynamic fundamentals and computational methods for release rates from ruptures in pipelines, vessels, and relief valves. • Fundamentals of static electricity hazards and their mitigation. • Quantitative assessment of fires and explosions. • Principles of dispersion calculations for toxic or flammable gases and vapors. • Methods of qualitative and quantitative risk assessment and control.
Retold Stories (Autobiography of a field Geologist) is authored by a geologist, who has seen 80 springs in his life. Written in a simple and lucid manner, it is not only an autobiography but also a collection of interesting events, not necessarily in the order that they happened in. One of them is related to the authors Man Friday in the fieldSingheshwar Mahato, an unassuming gentleman. Recollections narrated about his activities are hilarious as well as amusing. While travelling through the length and breadth of India, the author has met a bizarre assortment of characters, about whom he has added many episodes to the book, which make its reading pleasurable.
This book focuses on a specialized branch of the vast domain of software engineering: component-based software engineering (CBSE). Component-Based Software Engineering: Methods and Metrics enhances the basic understanding of components by defining categories, characteristics, repository, interaction, complexity, and composition. It divides the research domain of CBSE into three major sub-domains: (1) reusability issues, (2) interaction and integration issues, and (3) testing and reliability issues. This book covers the state-of-the-art literature survey of at least 20 years in the domain of reusability, interaction and integration complexities, and testing and reliability issues of component-based software engineering. The aim of this book is not only to review and analyze the previous works conducted by eminent researchers, academicians, and organizations in the context of CBSE, but also suggests innovative, efficient, and better solutions. A rigorous and critical survey of traditional and advanced paradigms of software engineering is provided in the book. Features: In-interactions and Out-Interactions both are covered to assess the complexity. In the context of CBSE both white-box and black-box testing methods and their metrics are described. This work covers reliability estimation using reusability which is an innovative method. Case studies and real-life software examples are used to explore the problems and their solutions. Students, research scholars, software developers, and software designers or individuals interested in software engineering, especially in component-based software engineering, can refer to this book to understand the concepts from scratch. These measures and metrics can be used to estimate the software before the actual coding commences.
A pioneering and comprehensive work, The Singapore Blue Chips puts the spotlight on 22 of Singapore's largest corporates. This is the first book that provides a quick snapshot of Singapore's large cap (large market capitalisation) corporates as investment propositions, and is a timely tribute to the nation's 50 years of independence and development.Written for finance professionals and students as well as readers with a general interest in business, investing and finance, each chapter of this book is dedicated to one company and delves into its attractiveness as an investment proposition, the associated investments risk and the company's prospects as of end-2016.
The rural market is an area of darkness to Indian entrepreneurs. The Indian rural market, with its vast size and demand base, offers great opportunities to marketers.
An aeroplane of a scheduled flight hits an Army truck on landing at night. It is seized by 44 hardcore mercenaries, who after having failed in a coup against the government of Seychelles, use the bruised and unairworthy aeroplane with 65 passengers as their getaway. They force the crew to fly them out to then apartheid land of South Africa, an unknown destination for the crew. The crew obeys the orders of hijackers and handles the situation with a great sense of proficiency and end the ordeal of the passengers and crew. This is a first-hand narration of a hijack by the pilot of the flight himself.
