Building Plumbing System Decontamination - First Report on Recommendations

September 6, 2009
Author(s)
Stephen J. Treado, Mark A. Kedzierski, Stephanie S. Watson, Nicos Martys, Kenneth D. Cole
This report summarizes the measurement results and recommended procedures for responding to building plumbing system contamination incidents and restoring the water system to safe operation. The recommendations are based on analysis of the results of a

Assessing the Measurement Uncertainty of Thermophysical Properties

September 2, 2009
Author(s)
Robert R. Zarr
A generalized approach for the expression of measurement uncertainty consistent with current international practice is presented. The approach is applicable to all kinds of quantitative measurements including measurements of thermophysical properties. A

Toward a standard on the wind tunnel method

September 2, 2009
Author(s)
Emil Simiu
This document is intended to provide practicing engineers and building code officials with a technical resource that (i) describes current practices for the testing of buildings and other structures in flows simulating natural winds, (ii) provides a basis

A Thermodynamic Analysis of Refilling of a Hydrogen Tank

August 31, 2009
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang
A thermodynamic analysis of refilling of a gaseous hydrogen fuel tank is described. This study may lend itself to the applications of refilling a hydrogen storage tank onboard a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. The gaseous hydrogen is treated as an ideal or a

FIRE FACTS

August 28, 2009
Author(s)
James R. Lawson
Fire Facts gives the reader an ordered series of temperature and heat flux values that may be associated to fire growth conditions and relates these exposure conditions to specific physical responses. The thermal conditions are presented in ascending order

Chemorheological Investigation on the Environmental Susceptibility of Sealants

August 18, 2009
Author(s)
Kar T. Tan, David J. Benatti, Christopher C. White, Donald L. Hunston, Deborah S. Jacobs
One of the major problems with any sealant system is its susceptibility to hostile environments, such as heat, moisture, ultraviolet radiation, oxygen, mechanical stress and biochemical attack. Prolonged exposure to these environments leads to substantial

Degradation and Nanofiller Release of Polymer Nanocomposites Exposed to UV

July 15, 2009
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, Bastien T. Pellegrin, Alexander J. Shapiro, Xiaohong Gu, Joannie W. Chin
Nanofillers are increasingly used to enhance multifunctional properties of polymers. However, recent research suggests that nanomaterials may have a negative impact on the environmental health and safety. Since polymers are susceptible to photodegradation
