It can be used to estimate the rate of heat transfer into or out of a device that has a stream of water flowing through it at a known flow rate, and with a measured temperature change between the ...

When thinking mathematically, most people think in proportions. For example, if someone is baking cookies and they want to make a double batch, they intuitively know they need to double the amount of ...

Many researchers and subject matter experts (SMEs) agree that 1¾-inch interior handline flows should be between 150–160 gpm. The NFPA included a similar recommendation in NFPA 1710: Standard for the ...

Relative to flow-rate, the efficiency, or Beta ratio, of a filter may change slightly but this is generally not that significant unless you are talking about wide extremes of flow. We can test an ...

When a high rate of flow (gpm) is required for a water-on-wheels operation, a dumpsite can be established with several portable tanks to feed the attack engine. Tank connectors, inchworms and jet ...

The object of firefighting has always been to put out fire, in a timely fashion, limiting damage from the fire and our suppression efforts. What has snuck up on us as an industry is that our structure ...
