Carbon Monoxide Formation Algorithm (NISTIR 6030)

June 1, 1997
Author(s)
William M. Pitts
This paper discusses an engineering approach for estimating the generation rate of carbon monoxide (CO) within a room containing a fire. The algorithm incorporates four CO formation mechanisms which have been identified in past investigations.

Evaluating Engineering Equations with Imprecise Quantitites

June 1, 1997
Author(s)
Ronald Giachetti
There is an increased awareness of the benefits of modeling imprecision in engineering problems, but success is limited by two problems associated with the calculus of imprecision: (1) Solving equations for a parameter is difficult because the common

Evaluation of Complex Fire Models (NISTIR 6030)

June 1, 1997
Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock, Paul A. Reneke, Walter W. Jones
Several methods for studying predictive capability and sensitivity have been applied to fire models, but with limited utility. These range from explicit evaluation of the equations used in simple models such as ASET to evaluation of complex models from

Evaluation of Seismic Performance Parameters

June 1, 1997
Author(s)
Hai S. Lew
Recent earthquakes have shown that buildings designed for life safety could sustain severe damage to structural and nonstructural elements and building contents. In the U.S. several groups have proposed performance-based seismic design approaches to

Flame Suppression by Halon Alternatives (NISTIR 6030)

June 1, 1997
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins
A series of experimental measurements were conducted in a baffle stabilized turbulent jet spray flame and a baffle stabilized pool fire in an effort to provide an improved understanding of the influence of various parameters on the processes controlling

Inexpensive Digital Imaging?

June 1, 1997
Author(s)
Michael T. Postek, Andras Vladar
The capture of digital images through the use of a frame grabber provides tremendous advantages to scanning electron microscopy. Accessory frame grabbers can range in price from very inexpensive to several thousand dollars. This work investigates the

Permittivity Characterization from Transmission-Line Measurement

June 1, 1997
Author(s)
Michael D. Janezic, Dylan F. Williams
We analyze three accurate broadband techniques for measuring the complex permittivity of dielectric substrates using coplanar waveguide transmission-line measurements and demonstrate good agreement with single-frequency cavity measurements.
