Flame Heat Transfer And Concurrent Flame Spread In A Ceiling Fire

Hasemi, Y., Yoshida, M., Yokobayashi, Y. and Wakamatsu, Takao, 1997. Flame Heat Transfer And Concurrent Flame Spread In A Ceiling Fire. Fire Safety Science 5: 379-390. doi:10.3801/IAFSS.FSS.5-379


ABSTRACT

Measurements of flame length, flame heat transfer and flame spread are made on one dimensional horizontal ceiling confined with two water-cooled soffits parallel to the flow field. Correlations with heat release rate are derived for flame length and flame heat transfer. Sensitivity to external heating and pilot flame intensity is studied on flame spread. Applicability of linearized flame spread theory for ceiling fires is examined using the test data
