Fire Distribution Analysis For The Faculty Of Engineering, University Of Sri Jayawardenepura

Abstract

This study investigated the different modelling
methods for the fire and evacuation process. Then identified different fire sources in the manufacturing laboratory of the faculty. This paper discussed, the applications of the Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS) and discussed the outputs from FDS. The theoretical basis of related governing equations for the fire phenomena simulation and the theoretical background of human egress have been discussed. Furthermore, it identified the different fire sources of the manufacturing laboratory with the risk rating. Also, this paper explains how to perform a fire risk assessment and from that, an acetylene gas leak fire accident was selected for the simulation purpose. Then the theoretical background was discussed for Turbulence jet modelling. The smoke visibility capability calculates the distance a lighted sign can be seen in a smoke-filled environment, as well as smoke visibility obtained from the FDS smoke view results viewer. Finally, there will be some suggestions to improve the fire safety of the faculty manufacturing laboratory. This paper was created based on some research papers and books related to fire protection
Engineering.
