Using cone calorimeter data for the prediction of upward flame spread rate [PDF]

Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2012
In a cone calorimeter, the specimen receives uniformly distributed irradiance from the cone heater. Producing a heating environment simulating the heating intensity in real fires, this apparatus consequently is capable of providing information of materials relevant to their fire performance. Several previous upward flame spread models utilized the data

Correlation of Burning Rate with Spread Rate for Downward Flame Spread Over PMMA

Fire Technology, 2018
Burning rate of solid fuel and laminar flame spread rate are both well studied topics for flame spread in downward configuration. Yet, despite well-developed theories, not much experimental data is available to correlate the two. In this work, experiments are performed under ambient conditions in downward spread configuration for a wide range of ...

Effect of Environmental Variables on Flame Spread Rates in Microgravity

45th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2007
This paper reports 2D CFD-based computer modeling of opposed flow flame spread over thick samples of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Model predictions are compared with experimental data from normal-gravity experiments at multiple forced flow velocities and KC-135 parabolic flight microgravity experiments.

Burn Angle and Its Implications on Flame Spread Rate, Mass Burning Rate, and Fuel Temperature for Downward Flame Spread over Thin PMMA

Combustion Science and Technology, 2019
A burn angle is defined as the acute angle subtended by the pyrolyzing surface with the virgin fuel surface and is an easily measurable overall characteristic parameter of flame spread, just like f...

Flame Spread Over Combustible Surfaces for Laminar Flow Systems Part II: Flame Heights and Fire Spread Rates

Combustion Science and Technology, 1979
Abstract In the previous paper (Part I), results were given for unburnt fuel fraction and wall heat flux for boundary layer flows with combustion. In the present paper, a highly simplified model of the combusting plume region and the previous unburnt fuel results are used to obtain analytical results for the ratio of flame to gasification heights in ...

Flame Spread Rates Over Methanol Fuel Spills

Combustion Science and Technology, 1985
Abstract Flame spread rates over pooled methanol and pooled gasoline were compared with flame spread rates over a porous surface saturated with these fuels. If the surface temperature was above the fuel flashpoint, the flame spread rate over a fuel-soaked porous surface was the same as for pooled fuel. Just below the flashpoint, flame spread was slower

Steiner tunnel index as a measure of flame spread rate

Fire Technology, 1978
The procedure by which a flame spread index is calculated in the Steiner Tunnel Test has recently been revised by ASTM. The new index is shown to measure average flame speed, weighted so as to emphasize the flame behavior in the earlier part of the test.

Geometrical Effects on Flame Spread Rate for Wildland Fine Fuels

Combustion Science and Technology, 1993
Abstract It has long been common practice for firefighters to test wildfire potential by lighting single strands or leaves (sheltered from the wind) and observing the rate of spread. This paper discusses single-element fire spread and its potential as a method for determining fine- fuel moisture content and for estimating the likely rate of spread ...
