BRIEF OVER VIEW OF THE MINIMUM PERFORMANCE STANDARD FOR ENGINES describes geometry for a fixture loosely representing an aircraft engine nacelle describes process to produce a representation of the current level of safety protecting these spaces puts halon through an “obstacle course” looking for a specified performance upon achieving the specified performance, pull out the halon and iterate to a quantity of a replacement repeating the same performance as halon quantify replacement DISCUSSED SIMULATOR CONFIGURATION AND PROVIDED CURRENT SIMULATOR STATUS provided schematic view of the simulator discussed hot plates; plate heating configuration resolved, still need to get plate into the core section discussed heating the air flow stream; will do it in 2 steps, one heat addition at the inlet and second heat addition from the heated surface of the simulator core presented curve characterizing flow capacity of range of 2-11 lbm/s and compartment changes per minute 1-2 months remain to completion DISCUSSED HALONYZER DISCREPANCIES fire testing in 1998 indicated fire test data timeline did not correlate with Halonyzer II timeline for distribution performed in-house testing to evaluate nature and magnitude of discrepancy determined the key discrepant factor was the transport of the sample through the sampling probe (tube to transport sample from the sample point to the transducer) resulted in selecting a smaller probe correction closely matches a near-square wave trace with a twenty foot long probe trace DISCUSSED HFC-125 SIMULATION OF HALON 1301 DISTRIBUTION showed April 1998 test data showed recent simulator test pairing; concentration magnitudes discrepant attribute discrepancy to inconsistent weight measurements on the scale used to determine agent quantities additional work during simulator distribution set up is planned technical note is in editorial review soon to be published Douglas Ingerson Federal Aviation Administration W.J.

High Bypass Ratio Turbofan Nacelle Simulator Douglas Ingerson Federal Aviation Administration W.J. Hughes Technical Center Atlantic City Int’l Airport, NJ Fire Safety section, AAR-422 Given the compartment ventilation rate (changes/min) in the nacelle is related to that of the analyzer probe. Variables given are describing : ?Q = volumetric flow rate ?V = internal volume of probe or nacelle ?A = internal cross sectional area of probe or nacelle ?L = length of probe or nacelle ?x dot = average gas flow velocity in probe or nacelle ?f = factor relating the two air change rates ?subscript “E”, related to engine nacelle ?subscript “T”, related to analyzer probe (tube) Formulation illustrates air change rates are dependent upon ratios of (neglecting complex flow interactions): ?lengths of the probe and nacelle ?gas stream velocities !For true “real-time” history, the transducer must see the gas flow at the same velocity the nacelle sees; the factor of {f * [L E / L T ]} must approach 1. !One can treat the nacelle event as a source (as in source/sink relationships) because the total sampling volume from the nacelle flow is negligible; the factor {f * [L E / L T ]} can be set to approach zero; therefore capturing the event with inconsequential time dilation considerations.
