Experimental data from compartment fires with gas burner and upholstered furniture fuels

Data in Brief, 2023
There exists a variety of specialized fire dynamics routines, zone fire models, and field fire models. Many of these heuristics and correlations rely on experimental data from fires fueled by gas burners or liquid pool fires and have had minimal, if any,

Experimental study on combustion parameters and temperature distribution of linear fire under different oxygen concentration in tunnel

Results in Engineering, 2021
Many cables are placed in the underground utility tunnel, which are with greater fire hazards. Once fire occurs in an enclosed tunnel, thermal radiation may ignite the adjacent cables, which will cause cable fire and further expanding of fire scale, and ...
