Both domestically and worldwide, there is a movement to introduce risk-informed and performance-based analyses into fire protection engineering practice. One key tool needed to support risk-informed, performance-based (RI/PB) fire protection is fire models

A Guide to Printed and Electronic Resources for Developing a Cost-Effective Risk Mitigation Plan for New and Existing Constructed Facilities

February 28, 2007

Author(s)

Robert E. Chapman, Douglas S. Thomas

Economic tools are needed to help the owners, managers, and designers of constructed facilities to select cost-effective combinations of mitigation strategies that respond to natural and man-made hazards. Economic tools include evaluation methods

Thermal Performance of Fire Resistive Materials I. Characterization With Respect to Thermal Performance Models

February 14, 2007

Author(s)

Dale P. Bentz, Kuldeep R. Prasad

As integrated circuits become smaller and faster, the measurement of line width must have less uncertainty and more versatility. The common requirement for uncertainty is less than 10 nanometers. The industrial need for versatility is three dimensional

A series of full-scale fire experiments was conducted at NIST in 2003 to provide data for an international benchmarking exercise to validate fire models over a range of operating conditions expected within a variety of compartments in a nuclear power plant

Effect of Refrigerant Oil Additive on R134a and R123 Boiling Heat Transfer Performance

January 1, 2007

Author(s)

Mark A. Kedzierski

This paper investigates the effect that an additive had on the boiling performance of an R134a/polyolester lubricant (POE) mixture and an R123/naphthenic mineral oil mixture on a roughened, horizontal flat surface. Both pool boiling heat transfer data and

Structural Collapse Research at NIST

January 1, 2007

Author(s)

D W. Stroup, Nelson P. Bryner

Approximately 20 % of fire fighters killed at structure fires over the past ten years have been as a result of structural collapse. Predicting a structural collapse is one of the most challenging tasks facing an incident commander at a fire scene. Usually

An Improved Correlation for Two-Phase Pressure Drop of R-22 and R-410A in 180 Return Bends

December 5, 2006

Author(s)

Piotr A. Domanski, Christian Hermes

A new correlation for two-phase flow pressure drop in 180? return bends is proposed based on a total of 241 experimental data points for R-22 and R-410A from two independent studies. The data span smooth tubes with inner diameters (D) from 3.3 mm to 11.6
