Design,Construction and Evaluation of Small Scale Fire and Smoke Spread Facility at the University of Notre Dame.

摘要

A small scale experimental facility to study fire and smoke spread models will be used to study and proposed valid analytical models of radiation,combustion and turbulence in corridor-type flows. The apparatus is basically a small wind tunnel capable of bulk fluid velocities of from 0-58ft/sec. Gaseous fuel is injected through a porous plate which functions as part of wall (top,bottom,or side). It is variable in streamwise width and can be sized to approximate a line source of fuel. Probes are constructed to obtain velocity,temperature and species concentration profiles and the walls are instrumented to obtain axial wall temperature distributions.
