- Abstract
- In order to provide additional data to assist fire protection engineers in performing Fire Hazards Analyses (FHAs), the Risk and Source Term Technology (R&STT) Group of Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC) has conducted a parametric study of smoke propagation in a single-room/adjacent-hallway geometry. The computer code CFAST (Consolidated Model of Fire Growth And Smoke Transport), developed by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) was used to perform the calculations. Three parameters were varied in the study: [1] the room area (10 - 25 m²); [2] the hallway length (5 - 15 m); and [3] the rate of heat release from the fire (100 - 600kW).
