Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHands-On Fire Extinguisher Training Apparatuses: Expert Evaluations of Two Propane Fire Simulators and Air-Pressurized Water ExtinguishersAwwad Dababneh, Abdul Jaleel Hamad Majeed, Rami H. FouadTwenty-two expert firefighting professionals were used in evaluating four methods for fire extinguisher hands-on training. Two different fire simulators were put into service along with two conditions for the fighting distance; keeping a distance of 2.44 m (8ft.) away from the base of the fire and having no restriction on getting closer to the fire. The fire simulators both utilized … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Jul 2017 · 7,660 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Computational Fluid Dynamic Simulation of Fire Evacuation from the Student DormitoryTeeranon Saelao, Supat PatvichaichodProblem statement: The aim of this research is to investigate the fire evacuation problem from the student dormitory by using the Numerical method. The Fire Dynamics Simulator Software was used in the research with the evacuation function (FDS + Evac.). The problem under investigation concerns the building that has the open-air centre.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Fire Evacuation of a Library Building based on the Numerical SimulationWithayavuth Jirasingha, Supat PatvichaichodProblem statement: This study investigates the fire evacuation problem of the library building by using the Fire Dynamics Simulator with Evacuation (FDS+Evac.) programming. Approach: The assumption is made that the sprinkler system is installed in the building but the system is malfunction, which is considered as the worst case of the situation. The simulations are divided into 4 cases, which … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 May 2011 · 7,575 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIoT-Fog based Smart-Building Security System Design and Performance EvaluationMaha Medhat, Khaled El-Shafey, Ali RashedThis paper aims to develop a smart building-security system utilizing fog technology. Fog computing is an innovative solution to reduce latency and network congestion, in which the cloud is extended to the edge of the network. The proposed system can detect an intruder, fire and water leakage. It is implemented using Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Pi-camera and different sensors. The sensors … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 9 · 3 Oct 2020 · 7,206 accessesView PDF Cite
