Field Measurement of Ventilation Rates

March 18, 2015
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily
Ventilation rates have significant impacts on building energy use and indoor contaminant concentrations, making them key parameters in evaluating building performance. Ventilation rates have been measured in buildings for many decades and there are mature

Exothermic Reaction of Halogenated Hydrocarbons: WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS

March 13, 2015
Author(s)
Gregory T. Linteris, Jeffrey A. Manion
A workshop was held at NIST Gaithersburg on October 27 and 28, 2014 to discuss the exothermic reaction of halogenated hydrocarbons. The industries that gathered to discuss the topic were the fire suppression, fire suppression in aircraft, and Heating

Smoke Characterization and Feasibility of the Moment Method for Spacecraft Fire Detection

February 17, 2015
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Thomas G. Cleary, George W. Mulholland, Marit Meyer, Victoria Bryg, D L. Urban, Zeng-guang Yuan, Gary A. Ruff
The Smoke Aerosol Measurement Experiment (SAME) has been conducted twice by NASA and provided the first real-time aerosol data in a spacecraft micro-gravity environment. Flight experiment results have recently been analyzed with respect to comparable

EFFECT OF SIDING TREATMENT ON FIREBRAND PRODUCTION FROM BUILDING COMPONENTS

February 2, 2015
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Sayaka Suzuki
Wildfires which spread into a community, commonly known as Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) fires, is a significant problem all over the world. Post-fire investigations have suggested that firebrands are the major cause of structure ignitions. Yet, few

Experimental and Numerical Simulations of the Gas-Phase Effectiveness of Phosphorus Compounds

February 2, 2015
Author(s)
Nicolas Bouvet, Gregory T. Linteris, Valeri I. Babushok, Fumiaki Takahashi, Viswanath R. Katta
The effectiveness of phosphorus-containing compounds as gas-phase combustion inhibitors varies widely with flame type. To understand this behavior, experiments are performed with dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP) added to the oxidizer stream of methane-air
