Question 9

Question 11:
During company drill, the covering Lieutenant correctly stated that “when an opening is created in a fire area, the heated gases will flow out of the top of the opening, and cool air will flow in through the bottom of the opening.” In which choice below was the Lieutenant’s follow-up comment incorrect?

A: Smoke or flame being discharged from the entire ventilation opening (no neutral plane visible) usually indicates that it is an outlet and that there is at least one inlet located somewhere else in the structure.

B: An opening that is both a ventilation inlet and outlet will show signs of laminar (smooth) or turbulent flow at the neutral plane depending on the stage and intensity of the fire.

C: Unidirectional or bidirectional flow of smoke/air that presents irregular stratification and shape, or alternates in direction (pulsates) is identified as “dynamic flow.”

D: Under normal wind conditions, a room with only one opening will display a unidirectional smoke/air track with no visible neutral plane.

Answer 9

Answer: D

Explanation:
D) Under normal wind conditions, a room with only one opening will display a BIDIRECTIONAL smoke/air track WITH a visible neutral plane.
Note: In a “wind-impacted” scenario, the opening can aggressively alternate from a total inlet to a total exhaust outlet with a range of unique vent profiles. This would be an example of Dynamic Flow.
