In this paper, the changes in smoke, temperature, CO concentration, and visibility in cruise ship under different fire conditions are studied. The results show that when fires occur in different locations, the highest temperature on the burning deck exceeds 60 °C, the highest concentration of CO gas exceeds 0.040 %, and the lowest visibility value is less than 5 m. The area of high temperature and high CO concentration zones where the front of the cruise ship caught fire exceeded that of the rear and middle of the cruise ship. The diffusion speed of fire smoke far exceeds the speed of high temperature propagation, and the visibility of the burning deck first decreases to the dangerous range, followed by the ambient temperature and CO concentration. The death toll of the rear, middle, and front parts of the cruise ship caught fire are 8, 18, and 22 respectively, and the locations of personnel deaths are all within the burning deck corridors. Low visibility and high fire temperatures cause people to stay in high-temperature environments for too long, which is the main cause of death. The study provides reference for the setting of cruise ship fire-fighting facilities and the optimization of personnel evacuation routes.","PeriodicalId":9658,"journal":{"name":"Case Studies in Thermal Engineering","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144130781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate that aging cycle tests conducted using three discharge modes—1C, 3C, and over-discharge—show capacity retention rates with linear, sub-linear, and super-linear evolutionary trajectories, respectively. During cyclic testing at 1C discharge, structural changes in the graphite anode due to prolonged cycling lead to decreased charge transfer efficiency, which is the primary cause of performance degradation. Under 3C discharge conditions, high currents result in the formation and growth of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film, electrolyte decomposition, and structural changes in the electrode materials, all of which accelerate the rate of battery aging. In over-discharge mode, the main cause of aging is attributed to current collector corrosion and the decomposition of electrolyte components.

The experiments monitored the external surface temperature, internal surface temperature and cavity temperature, revealing the seasonal energy saving benefits of the TCM.
