The subject of this manual is the calculation methods for the impacts of fire, explosion, and the dispersion of toxic gas. Starting from the probability of an accident occurring, the reader is guided through the calculation of leaks and then, the radiation of fire, the overpressure of the shock wave, and the concentrations of toxic gas.
Subsequently, the effects on humans (injuries or fatalities) as well as material damages are calculated. The book concludes with a discussion on the possible causes of destruction.
The book is aimed at both undergraduate students and professional engineers and researchers who need to predict the consequences of accidents in their work. The approach is practical and aims, with contemporary simple methods and many examples and applications, to provide a very good understanding of the subject.
