Abstract

Model-based evaluation of major accident consequences and effects occurring during the transport of dangerous substances presents a great interest, because it allows derivation of relevant conclusions on the cause-effect close relationship. Such a numerical (in-silico) analysis helps to improve safety regulations for the transport of hazardous substances aimed at preventing dramatic accidents causing many deaths, injuries, and structural damage. By using the standard TNT equivalency math model, coupled with the Probit functions technique, the consequences and effects of an accidental blast have been estimated.1,2 The approached case study here refers to the accidental explosion of a truck while transporting 20 t of ammonium nitrate (AN) in the proximity of Mihăileşti village (Romania) on 24 May 2004. The model-based simulated accident consequences and effects match the data taken on the spot after the accident. Multiple simulations lead to deriving relevant conclusions of practiced value for improving the transport safety of hazardous substances.

2004年罗马尼亚MihDileEti村卡车事故后硝酸铵爆炸后果模拟

基于模型的危险物质运输过程中发生的重大事故后果和影响的评价引起了极大的兴趣，因为它可以推导出因果关系密切的相关结论。这种数字(计算机)分析有助于改进危险物质运输的安全法规，以防止造成大量伤亡和结构损坏的重大事故。采用标准的TNT当量数学模型，结合Probit函数技术，对意外爆炸的后果和影响进行了估计。1,2这里的案例研究涉及2004年5月24日在罗马尼亚mihilile村附近运输20吨硝酸铵时发生的一辆卡车意外爆炸。基于模型的模拟事故后果和影响与事故发生后现场采集的数据相匹配。通过多次模拟，得出了相关结论，对提高危险物质的运输安全具有实用价值。

期刊介绍： The journal provides an international forum for presentation of original papers, reviews and discussions on the latest developments in chemical and biochemical engineering. The scope of the journal is wide and no limitation except relevance to chemical and biochemical engineering is required. The criteria for the acceptance of papers are originality, quality of work and clarity of style. All papers are subject to reviewing by at least two international experts (blind peer review). The language of the journal is English. Final versions of the manuscripts are subject to metric (SI units and IUPAC recommendations) and English language reviewing. Editor and Editorial board make the final decision about acceptance of a manuscript. Page charges are excluded.
