Van Three Mile Island tot Piper Alpha: veiligheidsmanagement en veiligheidssystemen, een overzicht van Engels- en Nederlandstaligge literatuur, Deel 2, de periode 1979-1988

Vraagstelling: Wat is de invloed geweest van algemene managementstromingen en onderzoek naar de oorzaken van ongevallen en rampen op het management van veiligheid, in de periode tussen Three Nile Island en Piper Alpha? Binnen welke context heeft deze ontwikkeling plaats gevonden en wat is de invloed geweest op het veiligheidskundige vakgebied in...

Experimental evidence of reduced sticking of nanoparticles on a metal grid

Filtering of NaCl, CaCl2, (NH4)2SO4 and NiSO4 aerosol particles 7–20 nm in diameter by a stainless steel grid was studied in order to find out if there is perfect sticking or partial rebound. Our experiment used particles from a spray-drying process, the majority of which were electrically neutral. Penetration through the grid was measured by...

Uncovering the physics of skin protection

Having a good understanding of the physical phenomena governing the performance of CBRN protective equipment is the first step in optimizing existing or designing new equipment. Numerical simulations were conducted of the flow and mass transfer in a simplified model of permeable CBRN protective clothing material. On the basis of a comparison...

Experimental study into plasma-assisted PM removal for diesel engines

Plasma-assisted PM removal is examined in a packed-bed plasma system. This study focuses on the effect of plasma power, space velocity and exhaust gas composition on PM filtration. Experiments are done on an engine dynamometer with a VW 1.2l TDI engine. During these experiments, the airflow is throttled so large smoke levels are realized. Then,...
