Effect of Gap Height on Thin Fuel Opposed Flow Flame Spread in the Narrow Channel Apparatus
The Narrow Channel Apparatus (NCA) is designed to establish a fully developed laminar flow profile above and below a thin, flat, solid fuel or on one side of a thick fuel for flame spread investigations. Due in part to its ability to suppress buoyantly-induced flow, the NCA is under investigation as a possible test method for screening materials for space flight applications. This study focused...
متن کاملMicrogravity opposed-flow flame spread in polyvinyl chloride tubes
The effects of gravity on opposed-flow flame spread in a confined geometry were investigated experimentally in the 2.2-s drop tower at the NASA Glenn Research Center. Pure oxygen flowed through samples of 0.64-cminner-diameter polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing held either horizontally or vertically in a combustion chamber filled with nitrogen. The sample was ignited in normal gravity with a hot w...
متن کاملUpward Flame Spread Over Discrete Fuels
Title of Document: Upward Flame Spread Over Discrete Fuels Colin H. Miller, Master of Science, 2014 Directed By: Dr. Michael J. Gollner, Assistant Professor, Department of Fire Protection Engineering Upward flame spread over discrete fuels has been analyzed through experimental research on vertical arrays of alternating lengths of PMMA and insulation. By manipulating the lengths of the PMMA fue...
متن کاملOpposed Flame Spread in Narrow Channel Apparatus to Assist in Suppression Studies
In this paper, we study the performance of a testing apparatus that could be used for evaluating the effectiveness of gaseous suppressants and solid fuel retardants under opposed flame spread conditions. A narrow channel, 3 mm in height, 110 mm in width and 375 mm in length, constitutes the most important component of this apparatus. To establish the flow and flame spread parameters in this app...
متن کاملEffects of boundary layer displacement and separation on opposed-flow flame spread
An analysis is presented of the viscous-inviscid interaction region around the tip of a flame spreading over the surface of a solid fuel in a forced laminar high Reynolds number air stream that opposes the flame propagation. Through the interaction. the vaporization of the solid and the thermal expansion of the gas originate an adverse pressure gradient upstream of the flame tip. which leads to...
