1. 1. Combustibility study of resin for warm magnet coils used at CERN

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Juan Carlos Lopez Santiago; [2023]
   Keywords : Epoxy resin; flammability; radiation; aging; cone calorimeter; micro combustion calorimeter; thermogravimetric analysis; lateral ignition and flame spread test; chemical composition of polymers; polymers; epoxy composite; polymer composite; failure of epoxy resins; magnetic coil; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : CERN is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, housing multiple accelerators that rely heavily on magnetic coils. These coils are integral to the generation of powerful magnetic fields essential for particle accelerator experiments, detectors, and other equipment. READ MORE

3. 2. DEVELOPMENT OF RISK INFORMED METHODS FOR ESTIMATING RADIATION RELEASE FROM CABLE FIRES AT HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS FACILITIES

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Daniel Funk; [2020]
   Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; CERN; Fire-induced Radiological release; particle accelerator; Fire Protection; Fire Risk Analysis; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : CERN operates the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC was built to advance the state of knowledge in particle physics by increasing the energy of colliding particles to the TeV range. READ MORE

4. 3. Factors influencing the generation of carbon monoxide in fires partially suppressed through water mist application

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Haydn Lewis; [2020]
   Keywords : Fire safety engineering; water mist; fire suppression; carbon monoxide; water; combustion; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Fires in the built environment typically consist of diffusion flames with inefficient mixing of fuel and oxygen, resulting in a degree of incomplete combustion and the generation of carbon monoxide. Fire suppression systems, used to control the growth and spread of fire, influence the combustion reaction process. READ MORE

5. 4. The impact of social influence on pre-evacuation behavior - An eye tracking analysis on information gathering during pre-evacuation behavior, comparing normative and informational social influence

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : Rebecca Rostedt; Sofie Andersson; [2019]
   Keywords : Social influence; informational social influence; normative social influence; pre-evacuation; evacuation; eye-tracking; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This study explores social influence within the pre-evacuation phase, which includes a literature review followed by experiments. The study is based on experiments by Latané and Darley (1968) but altered, here using eye tracking to examine if people who are alone use their gaze in the same way as people in a group, when collecting information in the pre-evacuation phase.

6. 5. Flashing lights at road tunnel emergency exit portals: A Virtual Reality study with low-cost Head Mounted Displays

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

   Author : David Mayorga; [2017]
   Keywords : Virtual Reality; Cross comparison; Head Mounted Displays; Theory of Affordances; Flashing Lights; Road Tunnels; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Previous studies have provided detailed recommendations regarding the design of flashing lights at emergency exit portals in road tunnels. Theory of Affordances have assisted safety designers fixing characteristics such as color, flashing rate, type and number of lights in emergency systems. READ MORE
