Abstract

The objective if this effort is to evaluate possible methods for real-time measurements of concentrations of alternative fire extinguishing agents for dry-bay and nacelle fire applications. If one or more feasible approaches are identified early in the investigation, a demonstration system will be developed for characterization under actual test situations.
