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

Industrial Need: Production Management Standards

August 1, 1997
Author(s)
Albert T. Jones, Charles R. McLean
The High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC) program was formally established by the High Performance Computing Acto of 1991 (Public Law 102-194). T The goal of this program is to accelerate the development of future generations of high

Industrial Need: Production System Engineering Integration

August 1, 1997
Author(s)
Charles R. McLean, Swee K. Leong
This document describes the results of Phase I Needs Analysis of the Production Systems Engineering component of the Production and PDM Project within SIMA. It identifies and documents the industry need, technical specifications to be developed, potential

Noise-Temperature Measurement System for the WR-28 Band

August 1, 1997
Author(s)
James P. Randa, L. A. Terrell
The NIST Noise Project has constructed and tested a radiometer for the measurement of noise sources in the WR-28 waveguide band (26.5 GHz to 40 GHz). It is a total-power radiometer which incorporates a six-port reflectometer for the measurement of relevant
