“…The locations of possible fire scenarios, caused by the above mentioned diesel mechanization will mostly depend on the frequency of their work activities through all underground mining facilities (Zalosh, 2003). To eliminate less risky places for occurrence of fire scenarios from this diesel mechanization we will discard those places in the underground mine where this mechanization has a minimum operating activities (Jain, 2007).…”

Unsafe working conditions in underground mines have led to a number of accidents, loss of life, damage to property, interruption of production, etc. Safety is essential in mining industry, which in recent years mainly focuses on injury prevention in the workplace through a variety of procedures and employee training. The primary goal of this paper is to present a methodology with systematic analysis to determine the most risky places for fire occurrence in underground mines and using a computer simulation to determine the movement of smoke and fire gases trough underground mining facilities from which depends the safe evacuation of all employees.

“…For each commodity, the values of To validate the correction methodology discussed above, two heptane pan fire tests were conducted, one under the movable ceiling and one under the 20 MW Calorimeter. The theoretical heat release rate for the heptane pool fire can be determined based on pool burning correlations found in the literature [6]. As with most calorimeter data, only a simple time shift, accounting for the transport time, is required to correct the measured data.…”

The Large Burn Laboratory, located at the FM Global Research Campus, is the first facility in which calorimetry techniques have been become a standard means of evaluating both sprinklered and non-sprinklered fire tests. The geometry and dimensions of the new facility result in signal distortions which are not typically seen with smaller scale calorimeters. Correction techniques to the measured signals have been developed to account for both accumulation and dilution of the combustion products between the source and the measurement locations. The theory and calculations required to calculate the chemical heat release rates for building-scale fire tests are presented and discussed. The correction schemes are applied to two fire tests, a free-burn spray fire and a sprinklered "standard plastic" rack storage fire. The calculated chemical heat release rates are then compared to theoretical calculations and observed events.

“…Standard commodities consist of a product, usually plastic, paper, or glass cups contained within a segregated corrugated cardboard box [9]. The classification scheme currently used in the United States places commodities into one of seven groups, Classes I-IV general commodities or Groups A-C plastic commodities.…”
