Abstract
As energy demand is growing day by day proportionately chemical spill accidents are increasing. Leaks are happening from different stages encompassing extractions to various usages. Giving training with hands on experience to the proper personnels to address these spills are expensive. Computer simulations help saving money as well as user friendly based on trainers’ available time. To implement these ideas and to learn hazard involve during chemical spills and effects of wind speed with different time in a day and seasons, an important and widely used chemical propylene chemical spill is considered for this analysis when it leaks from a tank. This analysis will help teaching students how to address chemical spills and evacuate nearby neighborhoods in a prompt manner. The author is not aware of any study related to chemical spill and wind speed effects using an inexpensive software to prepare students in classrooms or trainees in workplaces to control chemical spills.
