Book Synopsis Blast Effects on Fires by : Jana Backovsky
Download or read book Blast Effects on Fires written by Jana Backovsky and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiments on extinction of fires by airblast were conducted in the shocktube facility dedicated to blast/fire interaction studies. Three series of tests were conducted to gain practical understanding (quantitative and mechanistic) of blast effect on fires, using: (1) liquid-fuel fires of various sizes; (2) liquid-fuel fires, of various sizes, with flow-obstructing barriers upstream of the fuel source; and (3) wood-crib fire tests. Results affirm the concept of flame displacement as a mechanism of extinguishment for liquid-fuel fires on flat surfaces but suggest its limitation in describing blast/fire interactions when flow-perturbing obstacles are present upstream of the fuel bed. Even small barriers are seen to significantly increase the fire resistance to blowout by blast, by providing flame-retentive flow recirculation in their wake and effectively serving as flame-holders. For charring fuels such as wood cribs, after-shock flame displacement is seen to be augmented by sustained, blast-enhanced char involvement. The crib fire history before blast arrival and the extent of char-combustion enhancement (depending on blast strength) determine whether the crib fire is reestablished by rapid rekindling. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering Analysis of Fires and Explosions demonstrates how professional forensic engineers apply basic concepts and principles from engineering and scientific disciplines to analyze fires and explosions. It describes how forensic engineers use a "reverse design" process to determine the original cause of a fire or explosion. This guide incorporates practices and lessons learned from the first-hand experiences of the author and his colleagues. It is an exciting introduction to the multidisciplinary subject of fire and explosion analysis and its legal ramifications. The author's straightforward language and style make the concepts easy to understand.

Book Synopsis Effects of Air Blast on Urban Fires by : Thomas Goodale
Download or read book Effects of Air Blast on Urban Fires written by Thomas Goodale and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation was conducted of the effect of simulated nuclear blast waves on fires, simulating those that would be started in urban interiors due to thermal radiation that would have emanated from a 1 Mt-yield weapon assumed to be the source of the simulated blast. Blast waves in the range 1 to 5 psi nominal overpressure propagated through windows in a non-failing wall into full-scale test rooms furnished as typical living room, bedroom and office occupancies. The fire-blast interaction, in various combinations of occupancy and incident overpressure, and for non-failing walls having two different window areas, was documented by conventional and high-speed motion picture photography, and by post-test photography and recorded observations.

Book Synopsis Effects of Air Blast on Urban Fires-final Report by : Thomas Goodale
Download or read book Effects of Air Blast on Urban Fires-final Report written by Thomas Goodale and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debris of interior fuels that was capable of supporting smouldering combustion continued to smoulder, in most cases, after extinguishment of flame. A semiquantitative estimate of the probability of fire starts in urban interiors, based on results of the present investigation, predicted a reduction of primary significant fire incidence by factors of 2 to 3 due to fire-blast interaction. The analysis indicates further reductions of primary significant fire incidence would occur at higher overpressures if effective mechanisms were found to be operative for extinguishment of smouldering combustion of debris.
