Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This work is a comprehensive account of the existing practical and theoretical knowledge of the origin, development, prevention and mitigation of dust explosions in the process industries. It offers an up-to-date evaluation of prevalent activities, testing methods, design measures and safe operating techniques in a detailed and comprehensive critique of all the significant phases relating to the hazard and control of a dust explosion.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Dust explosions - origin, propagation, prevention and mitigation: an overview -- Case histories -- Generation of explosible dust clouds by re-entrainment and re-dispersion of deposited dust in air -- Propagation of flames in dust clouds -- Ignition of dust clouds and dust deposits: further consideration of some selected aspects -- Sizing of dust explosion vents in the process industries: further consideration of some important aspects -- Assessment of ignitability, explosibility and related properties of dusts by laboratory scale tests -- Research and development 1990-96.
