    Study Notes

    Hydrostatic Pressure and Flow Rates

    • Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium due to the weight of the fluid.
    • Torricelli's law states that the pressure of a fluid at a point is proportional to the height of the fluid above that point.
    • Head pressure is the sum of the pressure due to the weight of the fluid and the pressure due to the velocity of the fluid.
    • Velocity head is the pressure of a fluid due to its velocity.
    • Velocity pressure at constant laminar velocity is the pressure of a fluid when its velocity is constant.

    Ventilation

    • Ventilation is used to remove contaminants from the air and improve indoor air quality.
    • Types of ventilation include general ventilation, dilution ventilation, and local exhaust ventilation.
    • General ventilation involves diluting the contaminant with clean air, while dilution ventilation involves removing the contaminant with an exhaust fan.
    • Local exhaust ventilation involves capturing the contaminant at its source and removing it from the air.
    • Calculating volumetric air flow involves determining the volume of air moved per unit time.
    • Calculating static pressure, velocity pressure, and total pressure involves determining the pressure of the air in different parts of the ventilation system.
    • Calculating velocity of air involves determining the speed of the air in the ventilation system.
    • Contaminant generation involves the release of pollutants into the air.
    • Calculating purge rates involves determining the rate at which clean air is introduced into the ventilation system.
    • Steady-state concentration involves the equilibrium concentration of a contaminant in the air.
    • Calculating rate of generation for liquid solvents involves determining the rate at which a solvent is released into the air.
    • Calculating vapor or gaseous concentrations involves determining the concentration of a contaminant in the air.

    Local Exhaust Ventilation

    • Canopy hood is a type of local exhaust ventilation used to capture contaminants released from a process or operation.
    • Down draft hood is a type of local exhaust ventilation used to capture contaminants released from a process or operation.
    • Enclosure hood is a type of local exhaust ventilation used to capture contaminants released from a process or operation.
    • Receiving hood is a type of local exhaust ventilation used to capture contaminants released from a process or operation.
    • Openings are used to allow air to enter the ventilation system.
    • Calculating hood entry losses involves determining the pressure drop across the hood entrance.
    • Calculating air flow velocity involves determining the speed of the air in the ventilation system.
    • Calculating capture velocity for plain opening hood involves determining the velocity at which the contaminant is captured.

    Safety Theories

    • Domino theory states that accidents are the result of a series of events or dominoes that fall in a sequence.
    • Heinrich's axioms of industrial safety state that accidents are the result of a combination of factors.
    • Human factors theory states that accidents are the result of human error or behavior.
    • Accident and incident theory states that accidents are the result of a combination of factors.
    • Epidemiological theory states that accidents are the result of a combination of factors.
    • Systems theory states that accidents are the result of a failure of the system.
    • Energy release theory states that accidents are the result of the release of energy.
    • Behavior theory states that accidents are the result of human behavior.
    • Combination theory states that accidents are the result of a combination of factors.

    Accident Investigation and Analysis

    • Accident investigation involves determining the cause of an accident.
    • Accident investigation procedures include fact-finding, interviews, and problem-solving techniques.
    • The scientific method involves identifying the problem, gathering data, and drawing conclusions.
    • Gross hazard analysis involves identifying the hazards in a system.
    • Job safety analysis involves identifying the hazards in a job.
    • Failure modes and effects analysis involves identifying the ways in which a system can fail.
    • Fault tree analysis involves identifying the ways in which a system can fail.
    • Multilinear events sequencing method involves identifying the sequence of events that led to an accident.

    Electricity Basics

    • Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit.
    • Current is the flow of electrons in a circuit.
    • Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons in a circuit.
    • Series and parallel circuits are two types of electrical circuits.

    • General ventilation involves the exchange of indoor air with outdoor air to reduce contaminant concentrations.

    • Dilution ventilation reduces contaminant concentrations by introducing clean air into the space.

    • Local (exhaust) ventilation captures and removes contaminants at the source.

    Calculations

    • Volumetric air flow can be calculated using the formula: Q = AV × PV.
    • Static pressure, velocity pressure, and total pressure can be calculated using the formulas: SP = ρ × (V^2) / 2, VP = ρ × (V^2) / 2, and TP = SP + VP.
    • Velocity of air can be calculated using the formula: V = Q / A.
    • Purge rates can be calculated using the formula: PR = Q / V.
    • Steady-state concentration can be calculated using the formula: C = G / (Q × V).

    • Openings and ducts are components of local exhaust ventilation systems.
    • Air flow velocity can be calculated using the formula: V = Q / A.
    • Capture velocity for plain opening hood can be calculated using the formula: CV = Q / (A × π).
