Initiated as Masters Degree thesis project at Princeton University, with Dr. Irvin Glassman as advisor. br>
Technical Director of the Aeronautical Turbine Laboratory, Dr. Joseph S. Dirende, expressed an interest in the thesis subject as a foundational research project.
Dr. Glassman and the investigator agreed that the area, which most needed attention, was external burning on aerodynamic bodies as a means of producing thrust. Fuel to be used at the beginning is hydrogen. |

| Advances in Spray Drop Size and Velocity Measurement Capabilities for the Characterization of Fire Protection Systems |
| William D. Bachalo |
| The applications of spray and mists for extinguishing fires requires further research to establish the most effective application parameters. Some of these conditions are the water flow rate directed onto the fuel; drop size distribution, velocity of the entrained air, and the drop velocity. The phase Doppler instrument is capable of providing these data in realistic environments, including measurements within the fire. Details of the local drop size, size distribution, drop size velocity correlations; gas phase velocity, number density and volume flux can be measured. A brief description of the phase Doppler method is given with the validations of the measurement capabilities. |

| This paper summarizes a series of improved fire safety standards for transport aircraft adopted or proposed by the United States Federal Aviation Administration over the past five years and describes the technical development of those standards. Important test results and analyses employed to develop the new standards are described. Reference is made to technical publications issued by the FAA for each fire safety area. Emphasis is placed on recent and high-impact rulemaking actions such as the heat release standard for large surface area interior panels (based on the Ohio State Rate-of-Heat-Release Apparatus). Other activities summarized include heat resistance evacuation slides, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, cargo compartment fire protection, seat cushion fire blocking layers, floor proximity lighting, and crewmember protective breathing equipment. |
