Evaluation of Fire Models for Nuclear Power Plant Applications: Benchmark Exercise #3

January 31, 2007

Author(s)

Kevin B. McGrattan

A series of full-scale fire experiments was conducted at NIST in 2003 to provide data for an international benchmarking exercise to validate fire models over a range of operating conditions expected within a variety of compartments in a nuclear power plant

Effect of Refrigerant Oil Additive on R134a and R123 Boiling Heat Transfer Performance

January 1, 2007

Author(s)

Mark A. Kedzierski

This paper investigates the effect that an additive had on the boiling performance of an R134a/polyolester lubricant (POE) mixture and an R123/naphthenic mineral oil mixture on a roughened, horizontal flat surface. Both pool boiling heat transfer data and

Structural Collapse Research at NIST

January 1, 2007

Author(s)

D W. Stroup, Nelson P. Bryner

Approximately 20 % of fire fighters killed at structure fires over the past ten years have been as a result of structural collapse. Predicting a structural collapse is one of the most challenging tasks facing an incident commander at a fire scene. Usually

An Improved Correlation for Two-Phase Pressure Drop of R-22 and R-410A in 180 Return Bends

December 5, 2006

Author(s)

Piotr A. Domanski, Christian Hermes

A new correlation for two-phase flow pressure drop in 180? return bends is proposed based on a total of 241 experimental data points for R-22 and R-410A from two independent studies. The data span smooth tubes with inner diameters (D) from 3.3 mm to 11.6

Forum Workshop on Establishing the Scientific Foundation for Performance-Based Fire Codes: Proceedings

December 1, 2006

Author(s)

William L. Grosshandler

NIST to develop a common, international vision for how a scientific foundation for performance-based fire safety design might be structured, which parts of the foundation are likely to be robust and where gaps are likely to exist into the foreseeable
