Download or read book Smoke Filling in an Enclosure written by G. W. Mulholland and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The filling of an enclosure by smoke generated by a diffusion flame was studied by measuring the smoke extinction coefficient and temperature versus height during the filling process. Semi-quantitative agreement is found between the Baines-Turner theory and experiments with the burner located in the center of the room for heat fluxes over the range 11 to 32 kW. The filling process was found to be about twice as fast when the burner was moved off center. A novel technique for generating a thin smoke layer is described. Approximately 80 percent of the total heat generated by combustion was lost to the ceiling and walls. It was found that the conversion ratio of fuel to particulate is a non-linear function of fuel flow rate and that the shape of the curve is sigmoidal, which appears to be a common characteristic of sooting systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enclosure Fire Dynamics, Second Edition explores the science of enclosure fires and how they cause changes in the environment of a building on fire. The authors discuss mechanisms controlling enclosure fires and how to develop analytical relationships useful in designing buildings for fire safety. Derivation of equations from first principles is shown, stating assumptions and showing comparisons to experimental data, giving calculated examples for clarity. The text provides readers with the skills needed to solve a range of engineering equations and problems. Features include: Describes the outbreak of compartment fires and the mechanisms controlling them Derives simple analytical relationships from first principles and shows how to compare the derived equations with experimental data, giving calculated examples for clarity. Provides the calculational procedures and describes computer models needed to design a building for safety Cites the most up-to-date standards and references throughout Includes numerous chapter problems to test student readers’ understanding of fire behavior Enclosure Fire Dynamics, Second Edition will enhance the knowledge of fire protection engineers, researchers, and investigators and help build a strong foundation for engineering students.

Download or read book Sprinklers and Smoke Management in Enclosures written by Dalia E.E. Khalil and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-05-14 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses smoke management in enclosures and provides a platform for understanding the principles of smoke propagation and spread, heat release rate, and the effect of sprinklers on suppression. Considering how sprinkler systems have become a vital part of firefighting systems in enclosures, the book evaluates the effect of sprinkler activation on the behavior of fire-induced smoke and the interaction of water particles with the smoke layer. It studies two base case models where the sprinklers’ effect on the fire curve was considered. This base case was assessed with two smoke extraction systems, namely, a ducted system and an impulse ventilation system. By focusing on key elements, such as visibility, ceiling height, and fire curve, the results of the study will be of interest to mechanical engineers, HVAC professionals, and fire safety professionals and investigators. Features Includes case models and scenarios to evaluate real examples from different applications Studies the effect of sprinkler activation on the behavior of fire-induced smoke Explores various factors, such as ceiling height, sprinkler operating pressure, and fire curve Discusses the interaction of water particles with the smoke layer Utilizes Pyrosim software for CFD modeling

This book was released on 2003-09-20 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first handbook devoted to the coverage of materials in the field of fire engineering. Fire Protection Building Materials Handbook walks you through the challenging maze of choosing form the hundreds of commercially available materials used in buildings today and tells you which burn and /or are weakened during exposure to fire. It is the burning characteristics of materials, which usually allow fires to begin and propagate, and the degradation of materials that cause the most damage. Providing expert guidance every step of the way, Fire Protection Building Materials Handbook helps the architect, designers and fire protection engineers to design and maintain safer buildings while complying with international codes.
