  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. Wildfire growth modelling in Sweden - a suitability assessment of available data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Henrik Hagelin; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographic Information Science; Physical geography; Prometheus; WiSE-FASS; The 2014 Västmanland wildfire; Wildfire growth modelling; Wildfire suppression support; Wildfire behaviour; MESAN; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Wildfires are worldwide problems that stress societies by damaging their economies and they cause serious, sometimes fatal, health implications among the populations. In recent years, the rate of wildfire occurrence has increased as the global average temperature has risen. Because of global climate change, this rate is expected to continue rising. READ MORE

  4. 3. Flame Extensions Under Ceilings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Martin Sturdy; [2023]
    Keywords : Flame length; curved ceiling; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In this Master thesis project the factors affecting flame extension under flat and curved ceilings have been investigated. An experimental campaign was carried out in Lund University’s Fire Lab using a propane gas burner and heptane pool fire in different positions and heat release rates within the setups. READ MORE

  5. 4. INTERMEDIATE-SCALE TESTS AND CONE CALORIMETER TESTS - FIRE BEHAVIOUR OF SELECTED FACADE MATERIALS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Tanja Cernosa; [2020]
    Keywords : Fire behaviour; Intermediate-scale facade tests; cone calorimeter; stone wool; phenolic foam; WRB; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In the last few years, the implementation of well-ventilated façades in buildings increased due to their improved energy performance. However, their double-wall construction due to the limited airflow within an air cavity represents a significant fire risk, since the flames that spread into the air cavity can elongate up to ten times.

  6. 5. The Influence of Cavity Widths and Lateral Ventilation Conditions on the Fire Behaviour within a Non-Combustible Ventilated Façade System

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Daniel Fogerty; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within Intermediate-scale ventilated façades following the ISO 13785-1 standards.
