5. OVER-PRESSURE BEHAVIOR – BRIEF OVERVIEW • IN 2004, TWO HALON REPLACEMENT CANDIDATES WERE OBSERVED TO PRODUCE OVER-PRESSURE PHENOMENA SUBSEQUENT TO REIGNITION WITHIN THE TEST FIXTURE FLOW PATH • 2-BTP • HFC-125 • HFC-125 & 2-BTP APPEARED TO ACT AS A FUEL IN SOME INSTANCES • THE PHENOMENA WAS NOT 100% RELIABLE • INVESTIGATION REQUIRED DUE TO FREQUENT OCCURRENCE • OUTCOMES • 2-BTP WITHDRAWN FROM CONSIDERATION • ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIORS FOR HFC-125 DURING OVER-PRESSURE EVENTS WILL BE RECORDED IN NEAR-TERM TESTING TO PERMIT FUTURE DECISION-MAKING ACTIVITY

6. DUCT INTERFACE. TEST SECTION EXIT = 22” DIA EXHAUST DUCT ENTRANCE = 33” DIA GAP BETWEEN CIRCULAR PLANES = 8” SPRAY FIRE ZONE. AGENT INJECTION AIR FLOW ~ 240 Inches ~ 65 Inches ~ 123 Inches RED EXHAUST DUCT TEST SECTION OVER-PRESSURE BEHAVIOR – SCHEMATIC ORIENTATION RETURN

8. OVER-PRESSURE BEHAVIOR – ACTIVITIES/PLANS TO DATE • INSTRUMENTATION IS INSTALLED IN TEST FIXTURE & RED DUCT TO CAPTURE ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIORS DURING OVER-PRESSURE EVENTS • 4 THERMOCOUPLES TO MONITOR TEMPERATURES IN RED DUCT • 2 PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS TO RECORD STATIC PRESSURE • 4 PHOTOCONDUCTIVE PHOTODIODES TO DETECT FLAME • DUCT INTERFACE CAN BE ISOLATED FROM TEST BAY • MINIMIZED THE IMPACT ON THE VENTILATION STREAM ASSOCIATED WITH DUCT INTERFACE ISOLATION • PERFORMING ANALYTICAL EVALUATIONS OF THE DUCT INTERFACE • BERNOULLI VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS • 1ST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS • WILL RECORD ENVIRONMENTAL BEHAVIORS NEAR-TERM • FIRE TESTING WITH NO AGENT, HALON 1301, & HFC-125 • OIL & JP8 (??) SPRAY FIRES • DUCT INTERFACE OPEN & CLOSED

12. OVER-PRESSURE BEHAVIOR – ANALYTICAL EVALUATION BERNOULLI VELOCITY ANALYSIS • RECORD STATIC PRESSURE IN RED DUCT AT 2 LOCATIONS • 21 INCHES FROM INLET & 7 INCHES OFF DUCT WALL (21/7) • 16 INCHES FROM INLET & 4 INCHES OFF DUCT WALL (16/4) • ALL FLOWS WERE THE SAME TEMPERATURE; NON-COMBUSTING • WORKED WITH STREAM LINES FROM TEST BAY INTO RED DUCT; SMOKE TRAIL OBSERVATIONS INDICATED : • 21/7 WAS IN THE FLUCTUATION BETWEEN THE TEST BAY EDUCTION FLOW & THE TEST SECTION EJECTA • 16/4 WAS IN THE TEST BAY EDUCTION FLOW SOLELY • VELOCITIES (mass flows identified in parentheses are based on an assumption that speed is an average value for the annular surface area of the duct inlet where test bay air is entering; i.e. Q=AV; A=0.31 m^2) • 21/7 : • T_bay= 13°C, V = 3 m/s (mdot  1.1 kg/s) • T_bay= 26°C, V = 2.9 m/s (mdot  1.1 kg/s) • 16/4 : T_bay= 26°C, V = 3.3 m/s (mdot  1.2 kg/s)

15. OVER-PRESSURE BEHAVIOR – ANALYTICAL EVALUATION 1ST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS • CONTAINED DUCT INTERFACE WITHIN A CONTROL VOLUME (CV) • NON-COMBUSTING FLOW CONDITIONS • ESTIMATING MASS FLOW FROM THE TEST BAY INTO RED DUCT • THE PROBLEM IS UNDER-SPECIFIED • THE CV WAS “MODELED” FOR VARIABLE INPUTS TO OBSERVE BEHAVIOR OVER A RANGE OF CONDITIONS • HEAT TRANSFER TO THE BAY ASSUMED NEGLIGIBLE • WORK = 0 • MASS FLOW FROM THE TEST SECTION IS REASONABLY SIMILAR ACROSS THE AMBIENT CONDITIONS TO TREAT AS A CONSTANT VALUE (1 lbm/s +/- 0.1 lbm/s; 0.45 kg/s +/- 0.05 kg/s)

19. OVER-PRESSURE BEHAVIOR – SUMMATION TO DATE • TEST FIXTURE IS READY FOR TESTING IN OPEN & CLOSED DUCT INTEFACE CONFIGURATIONS • ANALYSIS OF VENTILATION AT DUCT INTERFACE NEARING COMPLETION • SPEEDS FOR RED DUCT & TEST BAY FLOWS HAVE NEGLIGIBLE IMPACT ON CALCULATIONS FOR TEST BAY MASS FLOWS • ONLY WHEN AIR TEMPERATURE DIFFERS BETWEEN TEST SECTION & TEST BAY • NEGLIGIBLE IMPACT ILLUSTRATED BY CALCULATED CURVES IN THE REASONABLE REGION OF BULK TEMPERATURE FOR THE RED DUCT FLOW (150-200°F/65-93°C) • THE GREATEST SENSITIVITY TO THE FLOW SPEEDS EXISTS WHEN THE 3 MASS FLOWS ARE THE SAME TEMPERATURE • ESTIMATING 1 kg/s OR LESS ENTERING RED DUCT FROM THE TEST BAY VIA THE INTERFACE • FUEL/AIR RATIOS TO BE CALCULATED
