Flow characterization of the UL Smoke Box and spot-type smoke detectors

Abstract

Flow Characterization of the UL Smoke Box and Spot-Type Smoke Detectors The certification and testing of fire protection devices can be an expensive and arduous task. Although fire detection as an industry has rapidly evolved over the past quarter Special thanks must also be given to Ms. Erika Echavarria and Mr. Gerald Angle for their prior assistance during the first, experimental phase of the project. Last but certainly not least, are my family and friends. I cannot extend a large enough thank you to my parents who have helped mold me into who I am today. My mother, especially, deserves the most thanks in guiding me on the lesser beaten path of not only leading a budding successful career, but personal one as well. My parents along with my sister and extended family (who are too many to list individually) have all had a genuine hand in supporting me in this venture-be it financially, physically, or emotionally. Without all of their support it is hard to tell where my unguided endeavors would have delivered me. My friends, who were encouraging in their own unique ways, cannot go un-thanked; and if mentioned specifically, egos would surely hang me for leaving one of them out of "print." v
