Thermodynamics of Metal Agent Fire Extinguishment

January 1, 2002
Author(s)
J D. Mather, R E. Tapscott
The thermodynamics of oxides, carbonates, halides and related metal compounds involved in extinguishment by dry chemicals and metal agents has been analyzed. It is shown that lattice energies play an important role in determining the extinguishment

Fire Tests of Men's Suits on Racks. Report of Test (FR 4013)

December 15, 2001
Author(s)
D W. Stroup, Laurean A. DeLauter, J Lee, G Roadarmel
A series of fire tests were conducted to characterize the potential hazard from ignition of men's suits hanging on racks. The fire test scenario was selected as part of a fire investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Treasury's Bureau of

Burning Behavior of Selected Automotive Parts From a Sports Coupe.

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Thomas J. Ohlemiller, John R. Shields
Selected functional parts from a sports coupe were subjected to a gas: flame ignition source and burned in a manner that allowed measurement of the resulting total heat release rate and heat fluxes to the surroundings. This is the second part of a study

Characterization of Particulate From Fires Burning Silicone Fluids

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Y Sivathanu, Anthony P. Hamins, George W. Mulholland, Takashi Kashiwagi, R Buch
The optical properties of particulate emitted from fires burning two distinct polydimethylsiloxane fluids (D4 and M2 or MM, where D=(CH3)2SiO and M=(CH3)3SiO2) were obtained using a transmission cell-reciprocal nephelometer in conjunction with gravimetric

Fresh Concrete Rheology - Recent Developments

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Chiara F. Ferraris, F De Larrard, Nicos Martys
The design of concrete with specified properties for an application is not a new science, but it has taken on a new meaning with the wide use of high performance concretes. The following properties are related to fresh concrete: ease of placement and

Passenger Minivan Fire Tests. REPORT OF TEST FR 4012

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
D W. Stroup, Laurean A. DeLauter, James J. Lee, G Roadarmel
Two fire tests were conducted using a passenger minivan. The fire test scenarios were selected as part of a fire investigation being conducted by the U.S. Department of Treasury s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Heat release rate was determined

Suppression of Fires Exposed to an External Radiant Flux

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
Michelle K. Donnelly, William L. Grosshandler
When materials are burning in the presence of a continuous, external energy source, they are often more difficult to extinguish and may require an increase in suppression agent to extinguish the fire. This situation could exist for class C fires involving

Towards a Global Agenda for Fire Research

December 1, 2001
Author(s)
J E. Snell
The Forum for International Cooperation on Fire Research, FORUM, was established about 14 years ago as an informal organization to provide a means for sharing on mutual issues and needs, communication, and cooperation among the world's leaders of fire

CFD Modeling and Comparison with Data for the NIST Reference Spray Combustor

November 1, 2001
Author(s)
D S. Crocker, J F. Widmann, Cary Presser
Validation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) predictions for spray combustion application has been a challenging task due to difficulties in both modeling and experimental measurements. However, validation is considered to be an essential exercise for
