  1. 1. 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

  3. 2. Developing Key Fire Safety Indicators for Retail Buildings – Using a Multi Attribute Decision Making Method with a Hierarchical Approach

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Anders Olsson; [2019]
    Keywords : KPI; Key Performance Indicators; Fire Safety Indicators; Risk Indicators; Risk Analysis; Risk Management Process; Risk Monitoring; Fire Risk Level; Multi Attribute Decision Making; MADM; Hierarchical Approach; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In order to develop indicators measuring the most important aspects of fire safety, the initial approach undertaken was to identify the fire safety components that have the largest importance to a building’s overall fire safety, and to let these components form the basis for the indicator development. Through the use of a Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methodology with a hierarchical approach, the most important components in relation to a building’s overall fire safety were identified.
