Radiative impacts on water mist/cloud droplet condensative growth
… were conducted on laminar, saturated water mist flowing through a tube apparatus with an inner wall cooled to induce radiative heat transfer from the mist droplets to the tube wall. The flow tube was designed to isolate the radiative effect by eliminating convective heat transfer …

Application of water mist to fuel-rich fires in model coal mine entries
… Recent experiences with the application of water mist to industrial fires has shown that use of fog can be an efficacious agent in controlling large scale fires. The postulations of this phenomenon concern the ability of the water, as a fog, to get deeply within the fire structure. In this …

Feasibility and design of blast mitigation systems for naval applications using water mist fire suppression systems
The recent trend of using fine water mist systems to replace the legacy HALON- 1301 fire suppression systems warrants further study into other applications of the water mist systems. Preliminary research and investigation indicates that fine mists (20-25 pm droplet size) may reduce peak …

An assessment of health hazards associated with the use of water mist systems as a cooling intervention in Australia
Water mist systems (WMS) installed and used for cooling ambient temperatures in public places fall within the category of premise plumbing. Premise plumbing refers to the water distribution networks that lie downstream of the water meter, and within buildings. The colonization of premise plumbing …

Evaluation and Mitigation of Industrial Fire Hazards
… the given protection level. More recently water mist has been mentioned as a possible replacement for halons. Experiments together with theoretical considerations have shown that no presently available water mist system fulfils the requirements of a total flooding system. A narrow window …

Prediction of water droplet behaviour during fire extinguishment
… pipes to sophisticated automatic systems of mist and sprinkler nozzles, still they play the same role - they dramatically reduce death and injuries due to fire, as well as property loss. This reduction occurs due to sprinklers' capability either to extinguish the fire or to control it, …

Chlorine in ground water : stable isotope distribution
… isotope composition of chloride from sea water halite, hydrothermal water samples and ground-water samples where chloride was likely moving by diffusion. The measurement method was mass spectrometry of methyl chloride gas prepared by quantitative precipitation of AgC1 from solution, and …

Radiation-induced condensational growth of cloud-sized mist droplets
… the effect of radiative cooling on cloud-sized water mist droplet evolution. The experiments were a continuation from two earlier students’ graduate research projects. Improvements were made on the experimental apparatus from this previous work to solve issues regarding unrepresentative droplet …
