Prediction of the effect of breaking window in a double skin façade as a result of fire | 2003 | English
It is necessary for fire safety that in case of a flash-over situation, the windows in the outer skin would break very fast and before the windows in the inner façade would break, so that the model of Law is valid in which case the NEN 6068 could
This article presents a one-dimensional model of spray vaporization that can be easily used in thermal performance simulations of buildings.
