TASK 1
Study the below given picture figure 1, answer the following questions.
Figure 1: Compartment fire.
? Write your understanding about various stages of fire development in a compartment and various contributing factors to enclosed fire growth.
? You are required to identify the state of control of fire (fuel or ventilation controlled) at the stage shown in picture 1 with a suitable explanation on its understanding.
? Also suggest the technical measures to reduce the growth of fire in a compartment. [1000 word]
TASK 2
Knowledge of Fire Load and Fire Load Density is very important in the field of Fire Safety Engineering.
In a room, there are some wooden tables, some plastic tables, some plastic chairs, a wooden cabinet. The floor is provided with a carpet. You can assume reasonable number of chairs and tables.
Use the following table for proper data collection and calculate the total fire load density if the floor area is 10m x 8m
Guidelines and data:
Tabulate the number of available items such as wooden chairs, tables, plastic tables, plastic chairs, carpet area etc.
Some other useful information you may require:
