Advanced Fire Detection

August 10, 1997
Author(s)
E Braun
Current test protocols and certification processes have been developed to accommodate specific detection sensor technologies. Test methods exist to evaluate specific classes of sensors, e.g., ionization, optical, temperature, or CO, etc. In the past, the

FireCAD Development for Hazard Analysis

August 10, 1997
Author(s)
J. A. Cappuccio, Walter W. Jones, Glenn P. Forney
ABSTRACT ONLY This paper addresses the development of FireCAD, a tool for performing Fire Hazard Analysis using the capabilities of the computer aided design tool, AUTOCAD, and the zone fire model, CFAST. FireCAD uses an AUTOCAD drawing as a basis for

Investigation of Conduction Effects on Sprinkler Activation

August 10, 1997
Author(s)
E. C. Mack, Daniel M. Madrzykowski
[ABSTRACT ONLY] As part of a collaborative research project between the National Fire Protection Research Foundation and the Building and Fire Research Laboratory at NIST, the thermal response characteristics of a variety of large orifice and extra large

Brand Lofting Above Large-Scale Fires.

August 3, 1997
Author(s)
J P. Woycheese, P J. Pagni, D Liepmann
Although lofting of burning brands in forest fires has received considerable attention, little research has quantified the transport of brands from burning structures. This mechanism of fire spread is of particular importance in post-earthquake and urban

Blind Estimation of Tip Geometry in Scanned Probe Microscopy

August 1, 1997
Author(s)
John S. Villarrubia
Broadening of surface protrusions is a well-known imaging artifact in scanned probe microscope topographs. Blind reconstruction is a method for estimating the tip shape from the image of a tip characterizer, without independent knowledge of the

Burning Rate Model for Charring Materials.

August 1, 1997
Author(s)
G W. Anderson
A one dimensional model has been developed to describe the processes involved in the transient pyrolysis of a semi-infinite charring material subjected to a constant radiant heat flux. Material properties are assumed constant with respect to temperature

Evaporation of a Small Water Droplet Containing an Additive

August 1, 1997
Author(s)
M D. King, Jiann C. Yang, W. S. Chien, William L. Grosshandler
An experimental study on the evaporation of a small water droplet containing an additive on a heated, polished stainless-steel surface was performed. Solutions of water containing 30% (w/w) and 60% (w/w) of potassium acetate and sodium iodide were used in
