This report looks at fire hazards in the current vehicle fleet and makes use of failure modes and effects analyses of 3 generic designs to spot and rank possible fire hazards in the Emerging Fuel Vehicle (EFV) fleet. To forecast risk of
This investigation provides a detailed analysis of the hydraulic analogue technique used as a predictive tool for understanding smoke detector response within a complex enclosure. There currently exists no collectively accepted method for predicting the response of smoke detectors… Contents Chapter 1.
Title: AN ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS OF SPONTANEOUS IGNITION OF HYDROGEN JETS Analytical work is presented for the spontaneous ignition of a hydrogen jet emanating from a slot into air. A similarity solution of the flowfield was obtained. This was combined with the species
Detailed characterization of spray behavior and its relationship to nozzle geometry, fluid properties, and injection characteristics is needed to advance water-based suppression technology and fire related computational fluid dynamics (CFD)… Contents Chapter 1: Introduction 1.1 Overview 1.2 Literature Review 1.2.1 Sheet Disintegration
Compartment fires with different ventilation conditions exhibit different dynamical behaviors, ranging from steady fuel-limited fires to unsteady air-limited fires. Numerical simulations are here performed to study compartment fires in a configuration corresponding to a scaled-down model… Contents CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION 1.1 OVERVIEW
Scale modeling affords engineers the ability to appreciate the dynamic enclosure fire environment of larger than life structures in the laboratory. Conventional approaches to scaling have expressed results in terms of time-averaged values… Author: Perricone, Jonathan Andrew Source: University of Maryland Download
The objective of this research is to develop a new paradigm in fire-fighting techniques and demonstrate the feasibility of using fire imaging technology (e.g., thermal imaging cameras to monitor smoke conditions from a burning building) combined with fire modeling software for real-time
This investigation provides detailed measurements and analysis for improved understanding of ignition from the ‘small’ flames produced by cigarette lighters. This research program is motivated by the need to improve the fire safety of cigarette lighters in response to the juvenile firesetter
The flammability properties of pure Nylon 6 and Nylon with nano-clay of 5 % are examined in this study, TGA/DSC data were obtained with a variety of heating rates. The decomposition rate was found from the analysis of TGA data based on
This study examines the types of hydrogen leaks that can support combustion and the effects on various materials of long term hydrogen flame exposure. Experimental and analytical work is presented. Measurements included limits of quenching, blowoff,,. Author: Morton, Nicholas Ryan Source: University
