and also by cylindrical obstructions used in the literature. Indirect on-axis acoustic measurements are used to validate the analytical prediction of the circumferential spectrum of the blade unsteady lift and related indicators generated by the trapezoidal and sinusoidal obstructions presented in Ref. The acoustic radiation of the obstructions is first demonstrated experimentally. The approach presented in this paper uses obstructions in the flow to destructively interfere with the primary tonal noise arising from various flow conditions. Tonal noise originates from non-uniform flow that causes circumferentially varying blade forces and gives rise to a considerably larger radiated dipolar sound at the blade passage frequency (BPF) and its harmonics compared to the tonal noise generated by a uniform flow.

He also advises homeowners to have their chimneys inspected and serviced by a professional as needed, preferably at the beginning of the burning season.This paper presents the acoustic performance of a novel approach for the passive adaptive control of tonal noise radiated from subsonic fans. If a chimney fire burns for too long, the chimney can crack and break, and then the fire can spread to other parts of the home.īrolund says to avoid chimney fires, use only dry, well-seasoned wood in a fireplace, and use small amounts. The damage in the two West Kelowna fires was fairly minimal, Brolund said, although it could have been worse. "That's why with a chimney fire we'll see flames shooting right out the top of the chimney." He says those behaviours can lead to a buildup of creosote, a black carbon material that can restrict the flow of smoke out of the chimney and even catch fire itself. Fire Chief says attic sprinklers would have helped prevent Langley blaze.Kelowna council rejects proposed 4.4% property tax hike.People are either burning wet wood or too much wood." "Most chimney fires we see happen because the chimney has not been properly maintained. "We're seeing an uptick in those types of events, and given the time of year, it's to be expected," West Kelowna fire chief Jason Brolund told Radio West's Adrian Nieoczym. That's the message from West Kelowna Fire and Rescue after firefighters had to put out two chimney fires in the city this week. A clean chimney will keep Santa happy, and better yet, it could also keep your house safe.
