This paper intends to provide a comprehensive state-of-art review of recent progresses and
to formulate perspectives on window-ejected fire plumes, originating from under-ventilated …

Electrical wires and cables have been identified as a potential source of fire in residential
buildings, nuclear power plants, aircraft, and spacecraft. This work reviews the recent …

Thermal induced pyrolysis and the following flaming ignition of solid combustible play
crucial roles in determining the occurrence of fire and the subsequent flame spread. This …

This paper introduces fire safety standards for flammability evaluation of solid material
intended for use in a spacecraft habitat. Two types of existing standards include material …

The present work studied the normal gravity (1 g) and microgravity (μg) flame spread limits
(LOC) of ETFE insulated copper wires exposed to an external radiant flux. Experiments with …

Electrical wire is one of the primary causes of electrical fires because of short circuiting or
overload current. Experiments were carried out to characterize the influence of high currents …

High-voltage cable fire accidents can cause large-scale power outages. In particular, the
110ákV large-section (diameter 10ácm) cable has complex cable structures. Therefore …

This paper investigated experimentally the interaction behaviors of flames spreading over
two parallel adjacent electrical wires at various separation distances. Experiments were …

Abstract Effect of the thickness of polyethylene (PE) insulator on flame spread over electrical
wire with high thermal conductivity of Cu-core is experimentally investigated by varying the …

Materials, such as electrical wire, used in spacecraft must pass stringent fire safety
standards. Tests for such standards are typically performed under normal gravity conditions …
