The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the calculation procedures for Risk Analysis, that is, the effects and consequences from fires, explosions and toxic gas dispersion. Starting from the probability of an accident to occur, the reader is introduced to the calculation of a leak and then to the calculation of the heat flux, the overpressure, and the concentrations of toxic clouds. Following that, the consequences to people (injuries or deaths) as well as material damages are described. The book concludes with a discussion on the possible causes of destruction.
The book is targeted to undergraduate students, as well as to professional engineers and researchers whose work calls for predicting the consequences of an accident. The procedures described are practical and attempt to give a very good understanding of the subject. The use of modern simple methods helps to understand the meaning of all the variables involved, in contrast to current complicated computer packages which produce only results. The book is also ideally suited for the basis of an undergraduate course in Risk Analysis. The structure of the book, the step-by-step calculation procedures and the large number of examples aim to assist both teaching and learning, while also filling an existing gap in the teaching of risk analysis.
