热安全工程学的起步与展望

THE RISE AND PROSPECT OF THERMAL SAFETY ENGINEERING

热灾害是指与热过程有关的灾害现象。热安全工程学是研究热灾害形成与发展机理、规律及防治技术的一门新兴应用基础学科,它是热灾害防治有效性、合理性和经济性相统一的科学基础。其内容主要包括热灾害先兆及早期特性、过程数理模型、危害性分析、危险度评估、防治经济性分析和防治高新技术基础等几个层次。热灾害规律的双重性、确定性和随机性,使它在学术思想、学科内涵和研究方法等方面形成了自己所独具的特色。本文在分析热灾害的特点、变化趋势及其国内外研究动态的基础上,简要阐述热安全工程学的研究对象及目的、学术思想、理论体系和研究方法,并进一步提出发展我国热安全工程学的建议。

Thermal disaster is a kind of hazards related to thermal processes. As the scientific basis to unify the effectiveness, reasonableness and economy of protection of .life and property from the disaster, thermal safety engineering is a developing applied foundamental subject which studies the mechanism and rules of occurrence,spread,prevention and protection of the disasters, including early signals and properties, theoretical model of processes, hazard analysis , risk assessment, economical evaluation and basis of advanced technology. It has some features of its own in ideology, connotation and methodology due to deterministic and probabilistic nature of rules of the disaster. In this paper, the characteristics and trend of the disaster and the development of its research in the world are analysed and reviewed, the object and goal of the study, academic ideology, theoretical system and research methodology of the thermal safety engineering are summarized, and some suggestions to develop this new subject in our country are proposed.
