Abstract The traditional design fires commonly considered in structural fire engineering, like the standard and Eurocode parametric fires, were developed several decades ago based on experimental compartments smaller than 100 m 2 floor area. These experiments led to inherent assumption of flashover that temperatures burning conditions are uniform whole compartment, regardless its size. However, modern office buildings often have much larger open-plan areas (e.g. Shard London has a area 1600...
Firebrands are a harbinger of damage to infrastructure; their effects cause particularly important threat people living within the wildland-urban-interface. Short-range firebrands travel with wind little or no lofting, and spotfires. In this work, design novel firebrand generator prototype is discussed achieve uniform shower firebrands. The transport short-range studied verify existing Lagrangian particle model Fire Dynamics Simulator. Uniform, non-combusting cubiform cylindrical projected...
Australian building standard AS 3959 provides mandatory requirements for the construction of buildings in bushfire prone areas order to improve resilience radiant heat, flame contact, burning embers, and a combination these three attack forms. The are standardised based on level (BAL). BAL is empirical models which account radiation heat load structure. prediction structure challenging task due many influencing factors: weather conditions, moisture content, vegetation types fuel loads....
Abstract Effective wildland fire management requires real-time access to comprehensive and distilled information from different data sources. The Digital Twin technology becomes a promising tool in optimizing the processes of wildfire prevention, monitoring, disaster response, post-fire recovery. This review examines potential utility aims inspire further exploration experimentation by researchers practitioners fields environment, forestry, ecology, firefighting services. By creating virtual...
Firebrands (often called embers) increase the propagation rate of wildfires and often cause ignition destruction houses. Predicting motion firebrands new fires is therefore significant interest to fire authorities. Numerical models have potential accurately predict firebrand transport. The present study focuses on conducting a set benchmark experiments using novel generator, device that produces controlled repeatable sets firebrands, validating numerical model for transport against this...
Dysfunction of the lymphatic system following injury, disease, or cancer treatment can lead to lymphedema, a debilitating condition with no cure. Despite various physical therapy and surgical options available, most treatments are palliative fail address underlying vascular insufficiency driving lymphedema progression. Stem cell provides promising alternative in chronic diseases wide range therapeutic effects that reduce inflammation, fibrosis, oxidative stress, while promoting vessel (LV)...
The present case study work is carried out on a typical steel industry in selection of the optimum amount chemicals dosage used DAF unit to remove oil and grease. Neural models are developed between variables, i.e., chemical, pH, effluent. alum polyelectrolyte considered as independent whereas pH outlet stream accounted dependent variables. These input output data analyzed using ANN GMDH method, which reduces cost chemical/day-shift by 10.5% 21.85%, respectively.
Techno-economic development of chemical looping combustion (CLC) process has been one the most pursued research areas present decade due to its ability reduce carbon foot print during utilization coal generate energy. Based on a 2D computational fluid dynamics model, work provides approach study effect operating pressure—a key parameter in designing CLC reactors, optimum conditions. The effects pressure have examined terms reactors temperature, percentage fuel conversion and purity dioxide...
Although major coal deposits are of high ash content, chemical loop combustion (CLC) technology for these coals yet to be perfected. Thus, evaluate the effect on CLC process, a CFD model which incorporates both fuel and air reactors their inter-connecting parts given pilot plant has been developed. The results sub-bituminous metallurgical coke process have validated against published data within an error band ±7-14%. is then used two content designated as A B. Simulated show that conversions...
Background Wildfire often shows complex dynamic behaviour due to the inherent nature of ambient conditions, vegetation and ignition patterns. Merging fire is one such that plays a critical role in safety structures firefighters. Aim & method The aim this study was develop better insight understanding interaction parallel merging firelines, using numerical validation physics-based CFD wildfire model concerning fires. Conclusions validated relative error 5–35% estimating rate spread...
