The ignition of four different PVC-based electric cables was studied using cone calorimeter and the influence charring phenomenon on investigated. thermophysical optical properties sheaths before decomposition were measured. kinetics by photogrammetry. It shown that occurs for three at heat flux lower than 45 kW/m2. is flux, higher char amount ignition. In spite formation, it observed time-to-i...

The shapes of jets with transverse energies, E jet T , up to 45 GeV produced in neutral-current(NC) and charged-current (CC) deep inelastic e + p scattering (DIS) at Q 2 > 100 GeV 2 have been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA. Jets are identiied using a cone algorithm in the ? ' plane with a cone radius of one unit. The jets become narrower as E jet T increases. The jet shapes in NC and C...

In-depth temperature measurements of wood samples using thermocouples are commonly performed in fire research at all scales. However, the size or type how they placed sample can lead to measured being significantly different. In this work, an original method combining thin wire with a meticulous implantation, was used provide accurate measurement in-depth during their degradation. Wood were thu...

The spacial characteristics of an underground common duct often lead to disasters resulting in great damage life and property. In the case a cable fire, additional damages such as failure power fire prevention equipment occur. Accordingly, derive risk factors cone calorimeter test was performed this study. simulation factor obtained by measuring temperature changes with time, while heat release...

We report on the study of the eeect of the Tile calorimeter thickness in the ATLAS Barrel calorimeter performance. The reduction of the Tile Calorimeter depth by 20 cm would have severe consequences on the hadron calorimeter performance and would increase the punchtrough probability in the muon chambers placed behind the calorimeter. Cost savings are also analysed.

Acetylation is a type of commercial wood modification used to enhance the durability wood. Despite its adoption, especially in outdoor environments, there are mixed data on how acetylation affects combustion This paper evaluates differences acetylated and untreated using cone calorimeter combination with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) look for acetic acid vapors gases. Two thick...

The aim of this study is to assess the environmental performance manufacturing process glass/polyester laminates as well estimate their fire behaviour and smoke release. Life Cycle Assessment was conducted according ISO14040/44 standard by using CML-IA 2000 Baseline Midpoint method. cone calorimeter a method ISO 5660. tests were performed under 25 kW/m2 heat flux 50 kW/m2. results showed that r...
