Multiscale Modeling for Process Safety Applications is a new reference demonstrating the implementation of multiscale modeling techniques on process safety applications. It is a valuable resource for readers interested in theoretical simulations and/or computer simulations of hazardous scenarios. As multi-scale modeling is a computational technique for solving problems involving multiple scales, such as how a flammable vapor cloud might behave if ignited, this book provides information on the fundamental topics of toxic, fire, and air explosion modeling, as well as modeling jet and pool fires using computational fluid dynamics. The book goes on to cover nanomaterial toxicity, QPSR analysis on relation of chemical structure to flash point, molecular structure and burning velocity, first principle studies of reactive chemicals, water and air reactive chemicals, and dust explosions. Chemical and process safety professionals, as well as faculty and graduate researchers, will benefit from the detailed coverage provided in this book.

"Lees' Process Safety Essentials"is a single-volume digest presenting the critical, practical content from "Lees' Loss Prevention" for day-to-day use and reference. It is portable, authoritative, affordable, and accessible - ideal for those on the move, students, and individuals without access to the full three volumes of "Lees'."

This book provides a convenient summary of the main content of "Lees'," primarily drawn from the hazard identification, assessment, and control content of volumes one and two. Users can access "Essentials "for day-to-day reference on topics including plant location and layout; human factors and human error; fire, explosion and toxic release; engineering for sustainable development; and much more. This handy volume is a valuable reference, both for students or early-career professionals who may not need the full scope of "Lees'," and for more experienced professionals needing quick, convenient access to information.
Boils down the essence of "Lees'"-the process safety encyclopedia trusted worldwide for over 30 yearsProvides safety professionals with the core information they need to understand the most common safety and loss prevention challengesCovers the latest standards and presents information, including recent incidents such as Texas City and Buncefield"
