Practice Questions

Question 1

In the context of Inherently Safer Design (ISD), how does the principle of 'Moderation' specifically address the potential for runaway reactions compared to 'Minimization'?

Question 2

A university project is designing a new chemical synthesis process. To effectively apply the principle of 'Simplification', which of the following actions would be most impactful?

Question 3

When designing a new laboratory for a university, which inherently safer design principle would prioritize the use of passive safety systems over active safety systems?

Question 4

Consider a campus project involving the storage of flammable liquids. If the design team decides to use a solvent with a higher flash point, what is the primary safety advantage gained, and which inherently safer design principle is being applied?

Question 5

A university is developing a new pilot plant. The design team is evaluating two different reactor types: a batch reactor and a continuous flow reactor. From an inherently safer design perspective, which reactor type is generally preferred for hazardous reactions and why?
