Effects of Fire and Explosion Event in a Rural Area Fuel Depot Tank Farm: A Case Study From Istanbul, Türkiye

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical facilities storing large volumes of flammable liquids close to residential areas pose severe fire‐and‐explosion hazards that can escalate into disasters. In this study, a tank farm located within Istanbul's city limits is examined to evaluate possible catastrophic scenarios using consequence analysis methods. For this purpose, several

Effect of Deliberate Physical Damage and Repair on the Icephobicity of Oil‐Infused Elastomer Coatings

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Oil‐infused elastomer coating specimens are damaged by cutting or abrasion to study the effect on ice adhesion strength, freezing time and surface properties. The softer coatings show greater morphological changes but their icephobicity is no worse than coatings without oil‐infusion. Though damage causes deterioration in icephobicity, some icephobicity

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.
