(a) Explain the principles of HAZOP. Hazard and operability (HAZOP) studies are undertaken by the application of a formal‚ systematic‚ and critical approach to examine the process and engineering intentions of a process design. The potential for hazard is thus assessed‚ and the chances of malfunction of an individual equipment and its consequences for a whole system‚ are identified. The examination of the design is structured around a specific set of guidewords‚ and then ensure complete coverage

C. FMEA Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a specific process that focuses on ways to prevent problems or sentinel events before they occur‚ rather than a specific event. FMEA uses a multidisciplinary group of selected people that meet regularly to 1) identify a process that needs to be evaluated‚ improved and or identify a process that may fail and give examples of how these processes may fail. In the scenario of Mr. B. and the moderate sedation in the E.R.‚ the process that needs to be

Experimental Errors and Uncertainty No physical quantity can be measured with perfect certainty; there are always errors in any measurement. This means that if we measure some quantity and‚ then‚ repeat the measurement‚ we will almost certainly measure a different value the second time. How‚ then‚ can we know the “true” value of a physical quantity? The short answer is that we can’t. However‚ as we take greater care in our measurements and apply ever more refined experimental methods‚ we can reduce
