• DEVELOPMENT OF A COUPLED FDS MODELING AND VIDEO ANALYSIS APPROACH TO ESTIMATE THE BURNING CHARACTERISTICS OF A THIN-WALLED HUMANITARIAN SHELTER 

  Tan, Genevieve Claire (2022)

  Large fires in humanitarian settlements lead to enormous losses in material, time, and resources that organizations allocate toward supporting refugee camps and displaced persons. In the absence of full-scale shelter fire ...

• A REDESIGN OF THE EXHAUST AND GAS SAMPLING SYSTEM OF THE FIRE PROPAGATION APPARATUS 

  Roy, Shuvam (2022)

  Standard bench scale fire apparatuses are useful tools to perform repeatable and reproducible firetests that acquire key fire properties, such as heat release rate and time to ignition, for materials in a cost-effective ...

• SPHERICAL GAS-FUELED COOL DIFFUSION FLAMES 

  Kim, Minhyeng (2022)

  An improved understanding of cool diffusion flames could lead to improved engines. These flames are investigated here using a spherical porous burner with gaseous fuels in the microgravity environment of the International ...

• DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS OF THE CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE PYROLYSIS APPARATUS 

  Bellamy, Grayson (2022)

  Previously developed, the Controlled Atmosphere Pyrolysis Apparatus (CAPA) was designed to address the needs of a well-characterized gasification apparatus from which material properties could be derived. Although the data ...

• Firefighter Portable Radio Carrying Methods: Pocket or Strap? 

  Brondum, Nicholas Joseph (2022)

  Firefighters rely on their portable radios daily for communication. This project examines firefighter portable radios and their carrying methods. Carrying methods such as radio pockets sewn into turnout gear and radio ...
