Combustion Scaling and Modeling: Fire Suppression by Nitrogen Pressurization 3 - Test Data, NRL 5000-Liter Facility, Test Configurations 2 and 3

Abstract

Gas mixing rate studies in a 5000-liter cylindrical tank continue. Observations of gas temperatures are made with thermocouple probes during pressurization from 1 to 2 atmospheres through two and three-nozzle arrays with diameters of 25.4 mm in ca. 5 and 7 s, respectively. Pressurant concentrations may be inferred from temperature measurements. Six experimental runs are reported in which air is used as both the pressurant and the resident gas under nonfire conditions.
