  1. 21. Identification and characterization of design fires to be used in performance-based fire design of CERN facilities

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Darko Perovic; [2018]
    Keywords : Fire; Design fire; Vehicle fires; DMS 500; fast particulate analyser; Cone Calorimeter; Smoke characterization; Particle size distribution; Shell Diala; Midel; Cables; cable fires; Electrical cabinets; Electrical racks; CERN; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : CERN operates the most complex particle accelerator facility built until today. As such, it consists of thousands of custom-made components spread both in upper ground facilities and in underground tunnels and caverns. READ MORE

  3. 22. Thermal Exposure Caused by the Smoke Gas Layer in Pre-flashover Fires : A Two-zone Model Approach

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Lucas Andersson; [2016]
    Keywords : Thermal exposure; smoke gas layer; two-zone model;

    Abstract : A pre-flashover fire is very different from a post-flashover fire. The main difference is that in a pre-flashover fire the gas temperature and the radiation temperature differ. One thing that makes it a lot different is that the thermal exposure induced by a pre-flashover fire is largely affected by the smoke gas layer. READ MORE

  4. 23. The impact of horizontal projections on external fire spread - A numerical comparative study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Markus Nilsson; [2016]
    Keywords : fönsterbröstning; bröstning; balkongplatta; balkong; horisontell projektion; SP Fire 105; numerical study; comparative analysis; validation study; adiabatic surface temperature; vertical fire spread; external fire spread; FDS 6.2.0; FDS; balcony; spandrel; horizontal projection; extern brandspridning; vertikal brandspridning; adiabatisk yttemperatur; valideringsstudie; jämförande analys; numerisk studie; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The aim of the report was to investigate and compare the effect of horizontal projections along with different spandrel heights between the unprotected openings in the building facade. The effect was more specifically the effect on the risk level in regards to the external vertical fire spread. READ MORE

  5. 24. Reliability of fire barriers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Jonathan Vallee; [2016]
    Keywords : Fire engineering; Fire safety engineering; Fire barriers; fire rated construction; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : A fire barriers are widely used in the industry as a passive fire protection system. Fire barriers are built according to specifications from manufacturer after the construction was tested in full scale furnace in accordance to the appropriate codes. READ MORE

  6. 25. Elevated Fires

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Kseniia Polukhina; [2016]
    Keywords : fire position; elevation; fire development; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the fire source elevation on the main fire parameters, by implementing laboratory experiments. In modern Fire Safety Engineering practice, it is often assumed that fire always commences at the floor level. However, it is not always the case. READ MORE
