Nowadays, reactor runaway is still a crucial phenomen from the safety viewpoint. About 120
scientific journal articles are published every year in the last decade in which thermal …

In the first part of the review, published literature regarding the CFD modelling of single‐
phase turbulent flow in stirred tank reactors with radial flow impellers was critically analysed …

A process hazard analysis (PHA), such as a Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP), is a
useful tool in identifying potential hazard scenarios; however, a PHA can only give a …

Polymerization reactions have caused several severe accidents in the past since they are
prone to runaways due to their highly exothermic and auto-accelerating nature. The heat …

Reaction thermal runaway has been extensively characterized as a major hazard for fine
chemical industry. It is necessary to develop safety technologies for the control of reaction …

We attempted to prevent the thermal risk of a runaway reaction of polymerization in a batch
reactor and to realize online monitoring and emergency inhibition of the thermal runaway …

The key principle underlying classification in centrifuges is the superposition of an axial-flow
velocity and a radial, particle size-dependent settling velocity. These velocities are …

In order to achieve safer operating conditions of styrene polymerization process and
effective inhibition of runaway reaction, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology is …

Reaction inhibition was adopted as a method to halt runaway phenomena during
polymerization experiments. Use of reaction calorimetry coupled with a particular system for …

In this work, we have analyzed the application of CFD (computational fluid dynamics) to
simulate consequences of stirrer failures, which can lead to reactor thermal runaway. For a …
