Space charge generated by wind tunnel fires
Ž . Plume clouds resulting from wildland fires pyrocumulus sometimes produce lightning discharges to ground. These discharges were found to carry positive charge to ground exclusively in several cases. Emission of space charge was observed from woody materials burned in the presence of an external electric field. Measurements done in a large wind tunnel for this study confirm and extend measure...
متن کاملJet Fires: a “Minor” Fire Hazard?
Jet fires have received only a rather reduced attention as compared to other types of fires; this is probably due to the fact that they are usually much smaller that fireballs, pool fires or tank fires. However, jet fires often occur in areas where there is other equipment and the probability of flames impinging on a pipe or a vessel can be high. Furthermore, due to the turbulence of the phenom...
متن کاملThe Effect of Air Velocity on Heat Release Rate and Fire Development during Fires in Tunnels
Model scale fire tests using wood cribs of different porosity in a ventilated tunnel are presented. The study focuses on the effect of air velocity on maximum Heat Release Rate (HRR) and fire growth rate. To study the influence of different parameters, free burn tests and fire tests inside a model-scale tunnel were performed. The tunnel was 10 m long, the widths used were 0.3 m, 0.45 m, and 0.6...
متن کاملA Methodology for Life Safety Assessment in Road Tunnel Fires
This paper presents a methodology for evaluating life safety risks in road tunnel fires. The methodology considers three realistic fire scenarios, smoke spread, occupant evacuation, and reliability of fire suppression systems. The three fire scenarios represent three variations of fire growth rates. The road tunnel in this study is assumed to have two traffic tubes, a longitudinal ventilation s...
متن کاملThe critical ventilation velocity in tunnel fires—a computer simulation
In ventilated tunnel fires, smoke and hot combustion products may form a layer near the ceiling and flow in the direction opposite to the ventilation stream. The existence of this reverse stratified flow has an important bearing on fire fighting and evacuation of underground mine roadways, tunnels and building corridors. In the present study, conducted by the National Institute for Occupational...
