Sometimes referred to as energy flow analysis, HazOps is used primarily in the petrochemical industry. It uses a multidisciplinary team similar to a system safety working group for the systematic review of the flow of materials through a process. It concentrates on key locations in the process known as study nodes and uses a series of guide words and parameters to examine possible deviations and the causes and consequences of deviations (Goidwaite 1985). 

An analysis of the flows of energy involved in the production of any product is only one aspect of life cycle assessment. often one may wish to calculate the emissions and energy burdens associated with a specific product, e.g., the production of low density polyethylene resins, so that the potential and actual environmental and health effects associated with the use of the necessary resources and environmemental releases can be calculated. However, the focus of this article is the determination of the total, (both direct and indirect), energy required for the production of the product of interest, (energy flow analysis).

From stochastic molecnlar dynamics calcnlations on the same system, in the viscosity regime covered by the experiment, it appears that intra- and intennolecnlar energy flow occur on comparable time scales, which leads to the conclnsion that cyclohexane isomerization in liquid CS2 is an activated process [99]. Classical molecnlar dynamics calcnlations [104] also reprodnce the observed non-monotonic viscosity dependence of ic. Furthennore, they also yield a solvent contribntion to the free energy of activation for tlie isomerization reaction which in liquid CS, increases by abont 0.4 kJ moC when the solvent density is increased from 1.3 to 1.5 g cm T Tims the molecnlar dynamics calcnlations support the conclnsion that the high-pressure limit of this unimolecular reaction is not attained in liquid solntion at ambient pressure. It has to be remembered, though, that the analysis of the measnred isomerization rates depends critically on the estimated valne of... 

The molecule decomposes by elimination of CF, which should occur with equal probabilities from each ring when energy is randomized. However, at pressures in excess of 100 Torr there is a measurable increase in the fraction of decomposition in the ring that was initially excited. From an analysis of the relative product yield versus pressure, it was deduced that energy flows between the two cyclopropyl rings with a rate of only 3x10 s In a related set of experiments Rabinovitch et al [116] studied the series of chemically activated fliioroalkyl cyclopropanes ... 

Life cycle cost analysis is the proper tool for evaluation of alternative systems (11,12). The total cost of a system, including energy cost, maintenance cost, interest, cash flow, equipment replacement and/or salvage value, taxes, inflation, and energy cost escalation, can be estimated over the useflE life of each alternative system. A Hst of life cycle cost items which may be considered for each system is presented in Tables 3 and 4. Reference 14 presents a cash flow analysis which also includes factors such as energy cost escalation. 

The last three examples indicate the importance of analysis of the required air treatment cycle on the psychrometric chart as a guide to the methods which can be adopted and those which are not possible. This analysis can also provide optimization of energy flows for a process. 

This section treats the material and energy balance equations for a plug flow reactor. For steady-state operation the energy balance analysis leading to equation 10.1.4 is appropriate. 

For energy flow through space around the circuit, we must use Maxwell s equations as we would for radiating energy, rather than employ only the j circuit analysis conventionally utilized.

Characterization. CHNS analysis was carried using the Thermo Finnigan FLASH EA 1112 CHNS analyzer. Energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) was carried using the OXFORD ED AX system. Infrared spectroscopic studies of KBr pellets were recorded in the mid-IRregion (Bruker IFS-66v). Thermogravimetric analysis was carried out (Metler-Toledo) in nitrogen atmosphere (flow rate...
