A study was conducted on climatological data for eleven cities located throughout the United States. Findings from this environmental study were used to develop conditioning cycles for a research project on the influence of environments on the fire
The General Accounting Office (GAO) requested the assistance of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) in the investigation of the construction of the new Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Florida. Specifically, GAO desired answers to questions related to the
A series of fire tests was conducted to assess the burning behavior of the interior of passenger rail vehicles. Three types of tests were performed: (1) small-scale laboratory tests to study the flammability and smoke generation characteristics of the

A heat release rate calorimeter developed at the National Bureau of Standards was used to measure the fire performance of a wide range of furnishings. The heat release rates measured in the calorimeter are determined through the use of oxygen consumption
Various thermodynamic diagrams that are well known in absorption heat pump design and distillation techniques are introduced in this paper for nonazeotropic halogenated hydrocarbon mixtures. As an example, a typical compressor heat pump cycle for
