A Computational Model of an Outward Leak from a Closed-Ciucuit Breathing Device

July 3, 2008

Author(s)

Kathryn M. Butler

Closed-circuit breathing devices recycle exhaled air after scrubbing carbon dioxide and adding make-up oxygen from a tank of pure oxygen. This equipment provides up to four hours of use before oxygen cylinders and CO2-absorbent canisters need to be swapped

Evaluating Positive Pressure Ventilation In Large Structures: School Pressure and Fire Experiments

July 1, 2008

Author(s)

Stephen Kerber

A series of experiments was run in a masonry educational building examining the ability of PPV fans to limit smoke spread or to remove smoke from desired areas. Preliminary experiments examined the pressure increase created by portable fans and mounted

An Investigation of Extinguishment by Thermal Agents Using Detailed Chemical Modeling of Opposed Jet Diffusion Flames

March 3, 2008

Author(s)

William M. Pitts, Jiann C. Yang, Rodney A. Bryant, Linda G. Blevins

Detailed chemical kinetic modeling of methane planar opposed-jet laminar diffusion flames burning in air mixed with a variety of thermal agents is used to characterize their effects on maximum flame temperature and extinction behavior. The identification

Real-Time Particulate Monitoring - Detecting Respiratory Threats for First Responders: Workshop Proceedings

December 1, 2007

Author(s)

Rodney A. Bryant, Kathryn M. Butler, R Vettori, P Greenberg

The overhaul of a fire scene is a stage of firefighting where respiratory protection is often disregarded due to the perception of low risk and the desire to remove the heavy and cumbersome self-contained breathing apparatus. The need for alternative

Real-Time Particulate Monitoring Detecting Respiratory Threats for First Responders: Workshop Proceedings

December 1, 2007

Author(s)

Rodney A. Bryant, Kathryn M. Butler, R Vettori, P Greenberg

This workshop brought together members of the fire service, particulate detector manufacturers, public health professionals, airborne particulate researchers, and standards organizations to discuss the need for better technology to assess the level of
