Modeling radiation and moisture content in fire spread
A numerical method for a 2-dimensional surface fire model taking into account moisture content and radiation is developed. We consider the combustion of a porous solid, where a simplified energy conservation equation is applied. The effects of the moisture content and the endothermic pyrolysis of the vegetation are introduced in the model by means of a multivalued function representing the enth...
متن کاملInfluence of environmental storage relative humidity on biological indicator resistance, viability, and moisture content.
The effect of environmental storage relative humidity (RH) on the moisture content, viability, and moist heat and gaseous ethylene oxide (EO) resistance of biological indicators (BIs) was evaluated. No statistically significant difference was observed between the initial Bacillus stearothermophilus spore population and the spore population of BIs stored at 20 degrees C and 0, 20, 44, of 55% RH ...
متن کاملIndirect health effects of relative humidity in indoor environments.
A review of the health effects of relative humidity in indoor environments suggests that relative humidity can affect the incidence of respiratory infections and allergies. Experimental studies on airborne-transmitted infectious bacteria and viruses have shown that the survival or infectivity of these organisms is minimized by exposure to relative humidities between 40 and 70%. Nine epidemiolog...
متن کاملThe dichotomy of relative humidity on indoor air quality.
Dry and irritated mucous membranes of the eyes and airways are common symptoms reported in office-like environments. Earlier studies suggested that indoor pollutants were responsible. We have re-evaluated, by review of the literature, how low relative humidity (RH) may influence the immediately perceived indoor air quality (IAQ), including odour, and cause irritation symptoms (i.e. longer-term ...
