  1. 1. Visibility in Smoke With Different Extinction Coefficients

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Lea Elhokayem; [2022]
    Keywords : Visibility; smoke; exit sign; extinction coefficient; visibility constant; evacuation; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Visibility in smoke has since the 1970s gained some attention, mostly after Tadahisa Jin ran the experiments which helped him develop todays widely used visibility equation. By showing that visibility can be assumed to be inversely proportional to the extinction coefficient by a visibility constant (equal to 8 for light emitting sign and 3 for light reflecting), Jin opened up new doors for researchers who were testing out his theory by going around experimenting in different ways and also by showing that there is way for more research to be done.

  3. 2. Multi-scale modelling of fire in accelerator tunnels: a CERN case study

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Melchior Schepers; [2018]
    Keywords : Multi-scale modelling; CFD; tunnel fires; FDS; CERN; particle accelerator; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Multi-scale modellering is een nieuwe benadering in het modelleren van rook en brand in systemen waarbij de grootte van het domein een meer conventionele volledige 3D modellering onmogelijk maakt. Het domein wordt opgesplitst in een 1D en 3D gedeelte om zo de simulatietijd te verminderen. READ MORE

  4. 3. A Comprehensive PV Systems Installation Guide and Designing a Roof-Based PV System as a Demonstration System for Troubleshooting Errors in PV systems Installations

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

    Author : Ahmed Hathout; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of the thesis was to make a comprehensive guide for PV systems installers and engineers, using the best practices and following the applicable regulations and standards for the mechanical and electrical installations of PV systems. The guide includes all the different aspects of a PV system installation including different types of roofs and mounting structures, fire safety, height safety and fall protection, installation precautions, electrical and mechanical installations, safety gears and finally system commissioning.

  5. 4. A Comparison between two different Methods to Verify Fire Safety Design in Buildings

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : David Ronstad; [2017]
    Keywords : Fire Safety Engineering; Verification; SP; Probabilistic method; Scenario analysis; Performance-Based;

    Abstract : In today’s Nordic construction industry, it is difficult for new and innovative building solutions to be introduced due to prescriptive and inflexible regulations. Trading products and services cross-border is something that could loosen the tough market, but this is not possible due to the lack of common international frameworks that is performance based with the possibility to perform fire safety engineering.

  6. 5. 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
