The application of expansion foam on liquefied natural gas (LNG) to suppress LNG vapor and LNG pool fire thermal radiation
(2009-05-15)
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) hazards include LNG flammable vapor dispersion and
LNG pool fire thermal radiation. A large LNG pool fire emits high thermal radiation
thus preventing fire fighters from approaching and extinguishing ...
Development of new methodologies for evaluating the energy performance of new commercial buildings
(2009-06-02)
The concept of Measurement and Verification (M&V) of a new building continues to become
more important because efficient design alone is often not sufficient to deliver an efficient building.
Simulation models that are ...
Computational fluid dynamics for LNG vapor dispersion modeling: a key parameters study
(2009-05-15)
The increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has led to the construction of several new
LNG terminals in the United States (US) and around the world. To ensure the safety of the
public, consequence modeling is used ...
An Evaluation of the Bioclimatic Chart for Choosing Design Strategies for a Thermostatically-Controlled Residence in Selected Climates
(2009-05-15)
To be successful in sustainable building design, architects must consider energy
efficient design strategies in the early design stage. Unfortunately, many architects still
rely on simplified analysis, synthesis techniques, ...
