IN 1976, George Box opined: “All models are wrong, some are useful.” How do we assure that a model is not sufficiently wrong that it is useful? A useful model is one that adequately predicts the results under the conditions and scale required for design or a process simulation. Most models of course are not derived at design scale. We are inevitably working outside the envelope of model derivation. So how do we build confidence that the extrapolation is adequately correct that the results may be trusted?

Ban the Steam Engine and Build Ten Hinkleys
As products improve and prices fall, the take-up of petrol-electric hybrids and 'pure' electric vehicles (EVs) might come much sooner. Today’s ‘conventionals’ will become obsolete long before they’re banned.

HAZARD and operability (HAZOP) is a well understood, respected and employed technique in the process (and other) industries. It offers systematic rigour in challenging the design and operating intent of a new, modified, or established facility and provides a foundation for further analysis and risk assessment.
