Sub-atmospheric pressure range from 20 kPa to 100 kPa is of interest to simulate the space habitant environment. Throughout the study, ambient gas composition is fixed at 79 volume percent of nitrogen and 21 volume percent of oxygen (same as air), hence the partial pressure of oxygen is decreased as the pressure in the chamber is decreased. Flame spread subsequent forced ignition is observed and the spread rate is determined as a measure of the fire damage. Three types of chamber configuration are demonstrated to investigate the enclosure effect on flame spread; such as (a) with ceiling and side walls (severely confined case), (b) with ceiling but no side wall, (c) open (no obstacle. Least confined case). Results showed that the spread rate is quite sensitive on the imposed enclosure configuration near the extinction condition; the spread rate decreased with ceiling and side walls but no decrement trend is observed in open configuration. It is suspected that the burned gas tends to stagnant near the combustion regime in severely confined case and the oxygen component to be burned is limited. Without any confined effect, faster spread rate is achieved in depressurized environment. It is addressed that the severe regulation for fire safety should be applied in the space habitant., 資料番号: AA0063349034}, pages = {129--132}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構宇宙科学研究本部, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA/ISAS)}, title = {低圧場における高分子被覆導線の燃え広がりに関する研究}, year = {2007} }
