Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Symposium held March 1989. Comprehensive treatment of reactor stability and relief. Some specific topics are: explicit and implicit use of scale-up principles for the assessment of thermal runaway risks in chemical production; influence of a constant power heat source on the critical conditions for thermal explosion; evaluation of self- heating in bulk handling of unstable solids; evolution of flow patterns in tubes and in vessels; anatomy of an acrylic acid runaway polymerization. No index. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

"Sponsored by Center for Chemical Process Safety of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers ... co-sponsored by the Institution of Chemical Engineers.".
