Carbon Monoxide Formation in Fires by High-Temperature Anaerobic Wood Pyrolysis

July 31, 1994
Author(s)
William M. Pitts, Erik L. Johnsson, Nelson P. Bryner
Building fire fatalities often occur at locations remote from the room where the fire is actually burning. The majority of these fire deaths are the result of smoke inhalation, primarily due to exposure to carbon monoxide (CO). Although causing nearly 2500

Extinction of Nonpremixed Flames With Halogenated Fire Suppressants

July 31, 1994
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, D Trees, K Seshadri, H K. Chelliah
An experimental, analytical, and numerical study was performed to elucidate the influence of eleven gaseous agents, considered to be substitutes for CF3Br, on the structure and critical conditions of extinction of diffusion flames burning liquid

Computer Simulation of the Liquid Agent Spray Motion and Evaporation

July 18, 1994
Author(s)
G. Gmurczyk, Leonard Y. Cooper, William L. Grosshandler, William M. Pitts
The discharge of a liquid fire extinguishing agent stored in a pressurized vessel through an orifice generates a freely moving spray outside the vessel. The flow has been modeled as a two-phase, three-component, turbulent, compressible, dissipative flow

Discharge Characteristics of Cryogenic Fluids From a Pressurized Vessel

July 18, 1994
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, William M. Pitts, B D. Breuel, G. Gmurczyk, William J. Rinkinen, W G. Cleveland
An experimental technique to study the rapid release of liquid cryogenic fluids from a pressurized vessel orientated downward is described. A rupture disc was used as the release mechanism. Experimental observations were made on the discharge

Remarkably small critical exponent for the viscosity of a polymer solution

July 15, 1994
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, Karen Gruner
We have measured the apparent critical exponent y characterizing the divergence of the viscosity eta  (T- Tc)^-y near the liquid-liquid critical point of the mixture polystyrene in diethyl malonate. The data span the range in reduced temperature of 10-4

New Concepts for Fire Protection of Passenger Rail Transportation Vehicles

July 13, 1994
Author(s)
Richard D. Peacock, Richard W. Bukowski, Walter W. Jones, Paul A. Reneke
Recent advances in guided ground transportation, fire test methods, and hazard analysis necessitate re-examination of requirements for fire safety. Several studies have indicated nearly random ability of current tests to predict actual fire behavior. A
