Document : Analysis of the Initial Spray from Canonical Fire Suppression Nozzles
Title of Document: Analysis of the Initial Spray from Canonical Fire Suppression Nozzles Ning Ren, Master of Science, 2007 Directed By: Professor André Marshall, Department of Fire Protection Engineering The performance of a fire suppression spray is governed by injector discharge characteristics. An atomization model based on the theoretical evolution of a radially expanding sheet generated by...
متن کاملA comparison of fixed and rotating spray plate sprinklers
A comparative study of two types of spray sprinklers was performed. Rotating spray plate sprinklers (RSPS) and fixed spray plate sprinklers (FSPS) were evaluated individually in open field conditions. The water distribution, wind drift and evaporation losses during the evaluations were measured under low, medium and high wind speed conditions with three nozzle diameters and two nozzle heights a...
متن کاملGrassroots movement building and preemption in the campaign for residential fire sprinklers.
Home fires account for 85% of fire deaths in the United States, the majority in 1- or 2-family homes lacking fire sprinklers. Since 1978, however, a grassroots movement has successfully promoted more than 360 local ordinances mandating sprinklers in all new residential construction, including 1- and 2-family homes. The homebuilding industry has responded by seeking state preemption of local aut...
متن کاملQuantifying Fire Cycle from Dendroecological Records Using Survival Analyses
Quantifying fire regimes in the boreal forest ecosystem is crucial for understanding the past and present dynamics, as well as for predicting its future dynamics. Survival analyses have often been used to estimate the fire cycle in eastern Canada because they make it possible to take into account the censored information that is made prevalent by the typically long fire return intervals and the...
متن کاملAn adhesion test method for spray-applied fire-resistive materials
Adhesion of spray-applied fire-resistive materials (SFRMs) to steel structures is critical in enabling a building to remain functional during a fire for a specific period of time for life safety and fire department access. Empirical tests such as ASTM E736 have been widely adopted by the industry in an effort to ensure sufficient bonding between SFRMs and steel structures. ASTM E736 assesses th...
