Collision Dynamics of A Liquid Fire Suppressant Upon A Heated Wax Surface

July 18, 2003
Author(s)
Samuel L. Manzello, Jiann C. Yang
The impact of a distilled water droplet upon a heated wax surface was investigated experimentally using a high-speed digital camera at 1000 frames/s. Two different droplet impact Weber numbers (We) were considered and the collision dynamics were

Measurement of the Optical Extinction Coefficients of Post-Flame Soot in the Infrared

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
J F. Widmann, Jiann C. Yang, Samuel L. Manzello, George W. Mulholland
The optical extinction coefficients of post-flame soot have been measured in the wavelength range 2.8 micrometers to 4.1 micrometers. A laminar diffusion burner was combined with an infrared spectrograph and gravimetric measurements to determine the mass

Measurement of Soot Extinction Coefficients

June 16, 2003
Author(s)
J F. Widmann, Jiann C. Yang, George W. Mulholland, Anthony P. Hamins
An experimental apparatus used to obtain soot extinction coefficients in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum will be presented. Numerous experimental measurements of soot extinction coefficients have been previously obtained at visible

Cold Discharge of CF 3 I in a Simulated Aircraft Engine Nacelle

June 1, 2003
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Samuel L. Manzello, Marc R. Nyden, M D. Connaghan
An aircraft engine nacelle simulator was built to study the dispersion behavior of CF3I, a potential halon 1301 (CF3Br) replacement, at an extremely cold temperature (nominally 40 C). The experimental fixture consists of a simulated engine nacelle with

Report of Test on Experimental Conditions and Preliminary Results for the International Fire Model Benchmarking And Validation Exercise #3

June 1, 2003
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Alexander Maranghides, Erik L. Johnsson, Michelle K. Donnelly, Jiann C. Yang, George W. Mulholland
As part of its Fire Risk Research Program, the NRC (Nuclear regulatory Commission) and NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) are participating in an International Collaborative Fire Model Project (ICFMP) to assess and validate fire computer

Discharge of CF3I in a Cold Simulated Aircraft Engine Nacelle (NIST SP 984)

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Samuel L. Manzello, Marc R. Nyden, M D. Connaghan
An aircraft engine nacelle refers to the region between the engine body and its casing. Fuel and hydraulic lines, pumps, and lubrication systems are located within the nacelle. Air is vented through the nacelle to prevent any build-up of combustible vapors
