Karpov, A.I., Bulgakov, V.K. and Galat, A.A., 2001. Thermodynamic Algorithm For The Prediction Of Flame Spread Rate Over Solid Fuels: Quantitative Evaluation Of Validity. AOFST 5
ABSTRACT
An algorithm for the prediction of flame spread rate based on the principle of minimal entropy production is evaluated by the numerical investigation of the downward flame spread process. The main purpose of this study related to the selection of proper input data allowing a quantitative comparison of calculated results with experimental data to be made. The influence of fuel bed thickness and ambient oxygen mass fraction on the flame spread rate has been investigated and satisfactory agreement with measurements has been achieved.
