1. Thiazole (C3H3NS) occurs natrually as part of vitamin B1 (thiamin)
such as in pasta and bread.
Thiazoles have anti-tumor and anti-viral properties
but most thiazole compounds are flavourings. If it is combusted perfectly in
air the products are carbon dioxide, water, hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and nitrogen.
What is the balanced reaction? [8 marks]
What is the RMM of thiazole? [2 marks]
What is the fuel-air mass ratio? [5 marks]
What is the oxygen depletion? [4 marks]
What is the yield of CO2? [2 marks]
What is the yield of H2O? [2 marks]
What is the yield of N2? [1 mark]
For ideal combustion, what is the yield of carbon-monoxide? [1 mark]
You may assume the composition of air is 21% O2 and 79 % N2. A periodic table is provided overleaf, should you need one.
[25 marks for this question]
2. Critically review and distinguish superficial, partial-thickness and full thickness burns and explain the significance of ‘eschar’. How would eschar appear on a Lund-Browder chart?
[15 marks for this question]
3. Critically review zone and field models used for compartment fire modelling. Provide examples and critically analyse the main assumptions, limitations, advantages and disadvantages of these models.
[15 marks for this part]
4. The underside of a smoky layer 14m x 9m is radiating like a flat, isotropic plate at 510°C to the floor of a compartment 2.15m below. The mean emissivity is 0.41 and the floor is homogenous/flat plate at 35°C. What is the rate of heat transfer from the smoky layer to the floor?

5. A new type of insulating board has been developed by that esteemed construction company Kaput Ltd. They warn that at extremely high heat fluxes it could be ignited, but they don’t think it’s very likely and it would take hours, so there’s no real risk!
As an expert on the ignitability of materials you are asked to perform a thick/thin calaculation given the following data on the material:
Density 2300 kg m-3
Thermal conductivity 0.82 W m-1 K-1
Specific heat capacity 824 J kg-1 K-1
Thickness of board 7mm
Initial/ambient laboratory temperature 18°C
Ignition temperature 410°C
It is considered that if 20 kW m-2 would be enough to ignite most materials (i.e. indicative of flashover fires). Perhaps something easy to ignite would only require 10 kW m-2. Would this material ignite within ten minutes if exposed to 10 kW m-2?

The word limit is 2,000 words (+/-10%). This excludes footnotes but includes quotations. The word count must be printed on the top right hand corner of your work.
Remember:
· You must answer the questions set
· You must keep to the word limit of 2,000 words
· You must demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes
· As you construct and present your answers, consider the assessment criteria
Presentation Instructions
It is your responsibility to ensure that your work is neatly and accurately presented.
The work must be:
· Word-processed
· Single sided
· 1.5 or double line spaced
· Ariel 12 point font
· Justified
· Page numbered
· On A4 paper
· Margins left and right 3cm
· Attached to a cover sheet.
Marks may be deducted for failure to follow these instructions. Please look at the Student Guide to Assessment for more information.
Referencing
All academic writing must be referenced. If you use other people’s ideas without referencing them you are plagiarising their work.
Use the Harvard system of referencing within your text. This will take the form: surname, year of publication, page number, and is enclosed within brackets, for example (Bradley 1998, 277). At the end of your work you should provide an alphabetical list of all the works you cite.
Plagiarism
The use of work produced for another purpose by you, working alone or with others, must be acknowledged.
Copying from the works of another person (including Internet sources) constitutes plagiarism, which is an offence within the University’s regulations. Brief quotations from the published or unpublished works of another person, suitably attributed, are acceptable. You must always use your own words except when using properly referenced quotations.
You are advised when taking notes from books or other sources to make notes in your own words, in a selective and critical way.
