The author believes that a large number of practical applications of thermodynamic analysis are possible before a level of complexity which is intolerable to an industrial process engineer is reached. Process design and development, equipment design, energy system analysis, and research guidance are a few of the areas where potential uses exist. 

The NASA has various design engineering, system safety, and risk management guidelines for payloads, launch vehicles, and ground support equipment. 

The standard requires the supplier to have the appropriate resources and equipment (when specified in the contract) to utilize computer-aided product design, engineering, and analysis that is compatible with the customer s and subcontractor systems. It is also required that the supplier be able to use numerical design and drawing data, by computer-aided methods for the manufacture of production tooling and prototypes. 

The first component of the systems approach to error reduction is the optimization of human performance by designing the system to support human strengths and minimize the effects of human limitations. The hiunan factors engineering and ergonomics (HFE/E) approach described in Section 2.7 of Chapter 2 indicates some of the techniques available. Design data from the human factors literature for areas such as equipment, procedures, and the human-machine interface are available to support the designer in the optimization process. In addition the analytical techniques described in Chapter 4 (e.g., task analysis) can be used in the development of the design. 

Throughout these guidelines it is argued that when engineering techniques for the design and assessment of process equipment and control systems are supplemented with human reliability techniques, then performance of both the hardware and humans will be optimized. 

Chemical plants require a well-engineered system for fire protection. Many of the basic fire protection facilities must be incorporated into the original plant design in order to achieve maximum effectiveness. Fire extinguishing facilities and equipment should include ...
