Tag: CFAST
CFAST is a two-zone fire model capable of predicting the environment in a multi-compartment structure subjected to a fire. It calculates the time-evolving distribution of smoke and gaseous combustion products as well as the temperature throughout a building during a user-prescribed fire.
LeJeune Steel Paint Spill Analysis
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for analyzing hazards associated with a large paint spray area in a steel manufacturing facility. The primary hazard evaluated was large quantities of flammable liquids used to paint large steel members in an un-sprinklered area. Multiple pool fire scenarios were evaluated to determine if tenability and …
Doel Nuclear Power Plant - FPRA
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for reviewing fire models used in a Fire Probabilistic Risk Assessment (FPRA). The FPRA required analyzing a large number of ignition sources throughout multiple power plants for impact on nuclear operations. The analysis required a combination of fire modeling software.
Mixed Oxide Facility Detection Analysis
Fire Protection Engineer responsible for generating fire models to determine smoke detector coverage requirements. Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and Consolidated Fire and Smoke Transport (CFAST) were used to ensure detection met performance objectives for sensitive areas.
