Thermal Imaging Research Needs for First Responders: Workshop Proceedings

June 1, 2005
Author(s)
Francine K. Amon, Nelson P. Bryner, Anthony P. Hamins
This workshop provided a forum to discuss the strategies, technologies, procedures, best practices, research and development that can significantly improve thermal imaging technology. The goal of the workshop was to identify barriers that impede advances

Anionic Effects in Hot Surface Combustions.

May 24, 2005
Author(s)
W W. Bannister, A Donatelli, F Bonner, F Lai, P Kurup, J Egan, E G. Jahngen, P Muanchareon, W Paramasawat, W Sriseubsai, S K. Chiang, V Kongkadee, S Sengupta, R Nagarajan, N Euaphantasate, V Parma, M Cazeca, E Chen, A Morales

Parameter Affecting the Performance of a Residential-Scale Stationary Fuel Cell System

May 23, 2005
Author(s)
Mark W. Davis, Arthur H. Fanney, Michael J. LaBarre, K R. Henderson, Brian P. Dougherty
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have measured the performance of a residential fuel cell system when subjected to various environmental and load conditions. The system, which uses natural gas as its source fuel, is

On the Ignition of Fuel Beds by Firebrands.

May 11, 2005
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Thomas G. Cleary, John R. Shields, Jiann C. Yang
An experimental apparatus has been built to investigate the ignition of fuel beds as a result of impact with burning firebrands. The apparatus allowed for the ignition and deposition of both single and multiple firebrands onto the target fuel bed. The

A Curve-Based Mixed System Rating Method for Unitary Air Conditioners

May 2, 2005
Author(s)
William V. Payne, Piotr A. Domanski
The curve-based method was evaluated based on performance predictions for nine mixed systems, which were also tested by an independent testing laboratory. Capacity predictions were within 5% of the tested values for six of nine mixed systems, and four of

Ventilation Design and Performance in U.S. Office Buildings

April 30, 2005
Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, J Gorfain
Building ventilation is a primary determinant of indoor air quality (IAQ) as it impacts contaminant concentrations and occupant comfort in terms of the perception of odor and irritation. However, relatively few measurements of office building ventilation

Flammability of Polymer Clay Nanocomposites Consortium:Final Report

April 4, 2005
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Gilman, Takashi Kashiwagi, A B. Morgan, Rick D. Davis, Richard H. Harris Jr., L D. Brassell
In 1997 NIST reported that polymer layered-silicate (clay) nanocomposites exhibit reduced flammability, in the form of reduced heat release rate (HRR). The unique character of this new approach to flame retard polymeric materials was the dual benefit of
