June 30, 1999
Author(s)
E Passaglia, K A. Beal
A follow-on to Measures for Progress by Rexmond C. Cochrane, this work covers the history of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) from 1950-1969. While the book focuses on technical work, the management and administration of the Bureau are also discussed

Issues in Numerical Simulation of Fire Suppression

April 27, 1999
Author(s)
S R. Tieszen, Amelia R. Lopez
This paper outlines general physical and computational issues associated with performing numerical simulation of fire suppression. Fire suppression encompasses a broad range of chemistry and physics over a lxge range of time and length scales. The authors

Recent Results from the Dispersed liquid Agent Fire Suppression Screen

April 27, 1999
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Michelle K. Donnelly, William L. Grosshandler, N C. Prive
Mosl or the current methods for fire suppression efficiency screening (e.2.. cup burners) are designed for evaluating gaseous fire suppression agents. Potential uses of liquid agents as halon replacements have been recently proposed in several applications

April 21, 1999
Author(s)
J D. Mather, R E. Tapscott
Although it is not certain that a “drop-in” chemical substitute (as opposed to a new technology) for halons that can be used in normally occupied areas will ever be identified. there are two promising paths to such an agent. The first is to target
