A Methodology for Predicting and Comparing the Full-scale Fire Performance of Similar Materials based on Small-scale Testing

April 30, 2018

Author(s)

Isaac T. Leventon, Stanislav I. Stoliarov, James T. Lord

Reconstructive fire testing is an important tool used by fire investigators to determine the cause, origin, and progression of a particular fire. Accurate reconstruction of the fire requires the laboratory structure to be outfitted with materials that, in

Heat Transfer in a Falling Laminar Liquid Film with in-depth Radiation Absorption

April 11, 2018

Author(s)

Jiann C. Yang, Walter W. Yuen

A heat transfer problem involving a steady-state falling liquid film along a vertical wall with an imposed constant heat flux on the liquid film surface and an in-depth thermal radiation absorption in the film layer is analyzed. The liquid film is assumed

The Influence of Walls, Corners and Enclosures on Fire Plumes

March 19, 2018

Author(s)

Kevin B. McGrattan, Michael J. Selepak, Edward J. Hnetkovsky

This report documents two series of compartment fire experiments in which a natural gas burner is positioned in a corner, or against a wall, or inside a steel cabinet, to assess the effects on the plume and compartment temperatures. The measurements

A Soot Deposition Gauge for Fire Measurements

March 12, 2018

Author(s)

Amy E. Mensch, Thomas G. Cleary

The goal of this exploratory project is to demonstrate the feasibility of a conductometric measurement to determine the time-resolved soot deposition on surfaces in fire environments. Quantitative soot deposition data enabled by this measurement method is

Quantifying Thermophoretic Deposition of Soot on Surfaces

October 2, 2017

Author(s)

Amy E. Mensch, Thomas G. Cleary

Quantitative data on deposition of soot agglomerate particles in the literature is needed to advance fire forensic analysis as well as fire model predictions of visibility and detector activation. This paper provides direct measurements of thermophoretic

Gas species and thermal measurements preceding backdraft events in a 2/5th scale compartment

January 1, 2001

Author(s)

Ryan Falkenstein-Smith, Thomas Cleary

This report documents real-time and time-averaged temperature, global and local equivalence ratios, and oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide concentration measurements made at various positions in an isolated 2/5th scale compartment prior to a
