Different foam formulations are or could become available where the use of film-forming foam is potentially restricted. Alternative foam formulations have different levels of fire extinguishment and burnback performance. The intent of this paper is to present a framework for determining “how good is good enough” in terms of foam agent performance. The focus is on the required fire extinguishing...

This paper describes the steps performed by the authors’ company to validate and qualify the introduction of a new fire protection system for heavy-duty gas turbines based on water mist technology. Initially, a finite element model (FEM) of a newly developed 32 MW-class industrial gas turbine for mechanical drive and power generation was generated to simulate gas turbine (GT) casings deformatio...

Fire disaster is a great threat to lives and property. Automatic fire alarm system provides real-time surveillance, monitoring and automatic alarm. It sends early alarm when the fire occurs and helps to reduce the fire damage. Wireless sensor network has become the most important technology in environmental monitoring and home or factory automation in recent years. In this paper, an automatic f...

nanoclay/triphenyl phosphate hybrid system was employed to examine the fire retardancy and mechanical properties of pc/abs blends. each of the polymers and their blends are widely used in the automotive, electrical andelectronic industries. because most thermoplastics are easily combustible they need to be flame retarded to reduce the burning rate especially in the initial phase of a fire incid...

There are three main types of forest fires: surface fires, tree crown and underground fires. The frequency fires accounts for more than 90% the overall In order to construct an immersive three-dimensional visualization simulation various fire ignition methods, spread, extinguishing exercises studied. This paper proposes a lightweight spread method based on cellular automata applied virtual 3D w...

This paper presents a new architecture called FAIS for implementing intelligent agents cooperating in a special Multi Agent environment, namely the RoboCup Rescue Simulation System. This is a layered architecture which is customized for solving fire extinguishing problem. Structural decision making algorithms are combined with heuristic ones in this model, so it's a hybrid architecture.
