19、 Scope 1.1 General The measuring technique of the SBI (single burning item) test instrument is based on the observation that, in general, the heats of combustion per unit mass of oxygen consumed are approximately the same for most fuels commonly encountered in fires (Huggett 12). The mass flow, toge

20、ther with the oxygen concentration in the extraction system, suffices to continuously calculate the amount of heat released. Some corrections can be introduced if CO2, CO and/or H2O are additionally measured. 1.2 Calculation procedure 1.2.1 Introduction The main calculation procedures for obtaining

21、the HRR and its derived parameters are summarized here for convenience. The formulas will be used in the following clauses and especially in the clause on uncertainty. The calculations and procedures can be found in full detail in the SBI standard 1. 1.2.2 Synchronization of data The measured data a

22、re synchronized making use of the dips and peaks that occur in the data due to the switch from primary to main burner around t = 300 s, i.e. at the start of the thermal attack to the test specimen. Synchronization is necessary due to the delayed response of the oxygen and carbon dioxide analysers. T

23、he filters, long transport lines, the cooler, etc. in between the gas sample probe and the analyser unit, cause this shift in time. After synchronization, all data are shifted so that the main burner ignites by definition at time t = 300 s. 1.2.3 Heat output 1.2.3.1 Average heat release rate of the

24、specimen (HRR30s) A first step in the calculation of the HRR contribution of the specimen is the calculation of the global HRR. The global HRR is constituted of the HRR contribution of both the specimen and the burner and is defined as +=)(105,01)()()(HRRa_O2298totalttxtVEtD(1) where totalHRR ( )t i

25、s the total heat release rate of the specimen and burner (kW); Eis the heat release per unit volume of oxygen consumed at 298 K, = 17 200 (kJ/m3); 298()DVtis the volume flow rate of the exhaust system, normalized at 298 K (m3/s); a_O2xis the mole fraction of oxygen in the ambient air including water

26、 vapour; ()tis the oxygen depletion factor. The last two terms a_O2x and + )(105,01)(ttexpress the amount of moles of oxygen, per unit volume, that have chemically reacted into some combustion gases. Multiplication with the volume flow gives the PD CEN/TR 16988:2016CEN/TR 16988:2016 (E) 6 amount of

27、moles of oxygen that have reacted away. Finally this value is multiplied with the Huggett factor. Huggett stated that regardless of the fuel burnt roughly a same amount of heat is released. The volume flow of the exhaust system, normalized at 298 K, VD298(t) is given by )()()(ms298tTtpkkcAtVtDD=(2)

28、where c0,5 1,5 0,500(2 / ) 22,4 K m kg T = A is the area of the exhaust duct at the general measurement section (m2); tkis the flow profile correction factor; converts the velocity at the height of the bi-directional probe in the axis of the duct to the mean velocity over the cross section of the du

29、ct; kis the Reynolds number correction for the bidirectional probe, taken as 1,08; ()ptDis the pressure difference over the bi-directional probe (Pa); ms()Ttis the temperature in the measurement section (K). The oxygen depletion factor ()t is defined as )(O)(CO1)s90.s30(O)s90.s30(CO1)(O)(CO1)s90.s30

30、(O)(2222222txtxxxtxtxxt= (3) where 2O()xtis the oxygen concentration in mole fraction; 2CO ( )xtis the carbon dioxide concentration in mole fraction; Ys.Zs mean taken over interval Y s to Z s. The mole fraction of oxygen in ambient air, taking into account the moisture content, is given by =46)s90.s

31、30(81632,23exp1001s)s.9030(Oms2a_O2TpHxx (4) where 2O()xtis the oxygen concentration in mole fraction; H is the relative humidity (%); p is the ambient pressure (Pa); Tms(t) is the temperature in the general measurement section (K). Since we are interested in the HRR contribution of the specimen onl

32、y, the HRR contribution of the burner should be subtracted. An estimate of the burner contribution HRRburner(t) is taken as the HRRtotal(t) during the base line period preceding the thermal attack to the specimen. A mass flow controller ensures an identical HRR through the burners before and after s

33、witching from primary to the main burner. The average HRR of the burner is calculated as the average HRRtotal(t) during the base line period with the primary burner on (210 s t 270 s): PD CEN/TR 16988:2016CEN/TR 16988:2016 (E) 7 )s270.s210(HRRHRR totalav_burner= (5) where HRRav_burner is the average

34、 heat release rate of the burner (kW); HRRtotal(t) is the total heat release rate of specimen and burner (kW). HRR of the specimen In general, the HRR of the specimen is taken as the global HRR, HRRtotal(t), minus the average HRR of the burner, HRRav_burner: For t 312 s: av_burnertotalHRR)(HRR)(HRR

35、= tt (6) where: HRR(t) is the heat release rate of the specimen (kW); HRRtotal(t) is the global heat release rate of specimen and burner (kW); HRRav_burner is the average heat release rate of the burner (kW). During the switch from the primary to the main burner at the start of the exposure period,

36、the total heat output of the two burners is less than HRRav_burner(it takes some time for the gas to be directed from one burner to the other). Formula (24) gives negative values for HRR(t) for at most 12 s (burner switch response time). Such negative values and the value for t = 300 s are set to ze

37、ro, as follows: For t = 300 s: HRR(300) 0 kW= (7) For 300 s 3 kW) and (THR(t) 0,2 MJ) and (300 s 3 kW) and (THR(t) 0,4 MJ) and (300 s cckuku(46) And +=0ckuU if 00+cckuku(47) Note that the expanded uncertainty shall be re-computed if the coverage factor is changed, and in particular, that U (k = 2) 2

38、*U (k = 1). The combined standard uncertainty ucis calculated out of the standard uncertainty associated with the bias uband the standard uncertainty u that accounts for the combination of all other uncertainty sources not directly associated with the bias. ( )2122bcuuu += (48) The proposed approach

39、 can somewhat overestimate the uncertainty. In the case of a coverage factor k = 2, the method maintains the 95 % confidence interval until the ratio of the bias to the combined standard uncertainty becomes larger than the coverage factor. For such large bias values, the method produces uncertainty

40、intervals that are slightly conservative. Note that the sign of the sensitivity coefficient is important to know the effect on the global uncertainty. As an example, suppose x1and x2both have uncorrected bias and the expanded uncertainty is given by +111UUx (49) +222UUx (50) The uncertainty interval

41、 on x defined as 21xxx = (51) then becomes ( )+=+222211222211xUxUxUxUxxu(52) assuming x1 0 and x2 0. An underestimation of x1leads to an underestimation of x, while an underestimation of x2leads to an overestimation of x. 2.3 Combined standard uncertainties 2.3.1 Combined standard uncertainty on sum

42、s Since the discussion on the uncertainty of a data acquisition system often requires the standard uncertainty on the sum of N independent variables/measurements, a short review is as follows. PD CEN/TR 16988:2016CEN/TR 16988:2016 (E) 18 Assume the sum =Niixay (53) Taking the partial derivative to t

43、he different components xiresults in the corresponding sensitivity coefficients ci= a. The standard uncertainty of y is obtained by appropriately combining the standard uncertainties of the input estimates xi. This combined standard uncertainty uc(y) is the positive square root of the combined varia

44、nce u2c(y) and is given by =NiiNiiicxuaxucyu1212)()()( (54) Note that for correlated measurements this is no longer true as will be discussed in the next clause. 2.3.2 Combined standard uncertainty on averages If xiis a repetitive independent measurement of a measurand X, the uncertainty on the aver

45、age is given by NxuNxNuNxuxuiiNiic)()()()(212=(55) If however the uncertainty of a component is related to an effect with periodicity exceeding the weighing interval (tN t1 30 s). A similar statement is true for the calculation of the total heat release in the first 10 min of a test (600 s). Suppose

46、 the measurements are perfectly correlated (r = 1) the uncertainty on the sum becomes (ci= 1): = +=+=NiiNiNijjijiNiiicxuxuxuccxucu111 112)()()(2)( (58) which is higher than Formula (55). In this case, events with a periodicity of approximately 10 minutes or less will be dampened out while events wit

47、h a longer periodicity will not be dampened out (r goes to 1). For parameters like MARHE, which is also based on total heat release, the behaviour with respect to uncertainty will depend upon the integration time which is variable. On the other hand however, uncertainties related to very slow proces

48、ses ( 10 times test run) hardly contribute to the uncertainty on the oxygen depletion since it is a relative measurement, i.e. the actual status is compared with the initial status at the start of the test. This document therefore considers measurements as being independent, include the uncertainty

49、related to slow processes ( 10 times test run) in the zero calibration (= daily calibration of zero points), include the uncertainty related to drift over one test run in the uncertainty related to the actual measurement point. 2.3.3 Combined standard uncertainty of a product and a division Throughout the document, often the uncertainty has to be calculated for a product and for a divis
