ABSTRACT CTS-9413549 Jonathan Barnett This proposal requests funds to acquire laboratory instruments and experimental apparatuses for a fire science laboratory. The instrumentation will be used in a new fire science laboratory being constructed at the Worchester Polytechnic Institute. The Cone Calorimeter will be used to collect fundamental material properties for use in computer fire modeling. In addition to a similar use, the Room Calorimeter will be used for model validation. A computer workstation will be used for a dedicated computational platform. The new equipment will be used to attract new graduate students to the WPI's fire protection engineering program, enhance the laboratory components of the doctoral level scholars funded by an NSF GRTP grant, and help expedite the development of a new generation computer fire model. An university-based comprehensive fire research program supported by a large group of scholars will be developed.

摘要CTS-9413549 Jonathan Barnett申请为火灾科学实验室购置实验室仪器和实验设备。该仪器将用于伍彻斯特理工学院正在建设的一个新的火灾科学实验室。锥形量热计将用于收集用于计算机火灾建模的基本材料特性。除了类似的用途外，房间量热计还将用于模型验证。计算机工作站将用作专用计算平台。新设备将用于吸引新的研究生参加WPI的消防工程项目，增强由NSF GRTP资助的博士级学者的实验室组成部分，并帮助加快新一代计算机火灾模型的开发。一项以大学为基础的火灾综合研究计划将得到大量学者的支持。
