Slide-Rule Estimates of Fire Growth.

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

James R. Lawson, Jim G. Quintiere

A series of prediction methods have been assembled to provide an analytical basis for estimating fire growth in compartments. Solutions for each prediction method can be made using programmable scientific calculators. Prediction methods are presented for

Steady-State Modeling of Absorption Heat Pumps With a Comparison to Experiments

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden, S. A. Klein

A modular, steady-state model for the simulation of absorption heat pumps (AHP) is presented. The model is based on detailed mass and energy balances and heat and mass transfer relationships from components of the cycle and is applied to a prototype AHP

Two Refrigerant Mixtures and the Hard Sphere Fluid

June 1, 1985

Author(s)

G. Morrison, Mark O. McLinden

This is a discussion of the use of the perturbed hard sphere equation of state to describe refrigerants and refrigerant mixtures. A brief review of mixture modeling is given. Two mixtures, R13Bl/R152a, and R12/R22, are discussed as examples ofthe

Development of a Model for the Heat Release Rate of Wood: A Status Report.

May 1, 1985

Author(s)

W J. Parker

This report describes the status of the development of a method for predicting the heat release rate of wood for different thicknesses, moisture contents, and exposure conditions. A computer model has been set up on a microcomputer. Experimental techniques

Experimental Study of Environment and Heat Transfer in a Room Fire. Mixing in Doorway Flows and Entrainment in Fire Plumes.

May 1, 1985

Author(s)

E E. Zukoski, T Kubota, C S. Lim

This report contains a description of an ongoing study of gravity currents for conditions which match those we expect to find in unwanted fires in buildings. A review is made of the pertinent literature and a description is given of the flow regimes which

Fire Performance of Interstitial Space Construction Systems.

May 1, 1985

Author(s)

James R. Lawson

Two unique walk-on deck construction systems were exposed to the standard NFPA 251 time-temperature fire exposure for periods up to two hours in order to evaluate their fire performance. A large scale steel structure was used in the test program to

Kinetic constants of the self-heating reaction were determined for plywood, a retardant treated plywood, and eight samples of polyurethane foam represnting possibly two different kinds of foam materials. Under the assumption that self-heating follows a

Effect of Wall and Room Surfaces on the Rates of Heat, Smoke, and Carbon Monoxide Production in a Park Lodging Bedroom Fire.

February 1, 1985

Author(s)

B T. Lee

A furnishing arrangement representitative of those in U.S. Park Service lodging facilities was evaluated for its open burn (free burn) characteristics. The arrangement consisted of a double bed with a wood headboard and one wood night table. The proximity
