William L. Grosshandler, Anthony P. Hamins, Kevin B. McGrattan, Cary Presser
The amount of a gaseous agent required to extinguish fires in full-scale engine nacelle tests varies greatly with the geometry of the fixture and the manner in which the flame is stabilized. It has been observed that if the test is designed to allow fuel

Suppression of a Baffle-Stabilized Spray Flame by Halogenated Agents

July 28, 1996
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Cary Presser, L Melton
A series of experiments was conducted on baffle-stabilized spray flames in an effort to provide an improved understanding of the influence of various parameters on the processes controlling flame suppression. Measurements were made of the agent mass

Suppression of Engine Nacelle Fires (NIST SP 890)

November 1, 1995
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Thomas G. Cleary, P. Borthwick, N Gorchkov, Kevin B. McGrattan, Glenn P. Forney, William L. Grosshandler, Cary Presser, L Melton
A series of experimental measurements were conducted and simple models were developed in an effort to provide an improved understanding of the influence of various parameters on the processes controlling flame stability in engine nacelle applications. The

Suppression of Ignition Over a Heated Metal Surface

September 10, 1995
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, P. Borthwick, Cary Presser
The objective of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of various agents in suppressing flame ignition. Experiments were conducted to determine the amount of agent needed to suppress the ignition of a gaseous propane flow over a heated metal disk
